[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This all said, your DH should be talking to his sister about her mentally ill child. If she is doing nothing, there is an obligation of the adults in his life to at least say something. [/quote]

NO.  Don’t do this.  It’s obvious from OP’s post that the child is medicated and in therapy, and OP and her husband have no standing to get involved in this situation.[/quote]

OP here: I would never get involved in this. My husband and father in law both think the religious-based “therapy” is quackery and are not at all convinced— though again FIL moreso blames parenting choices.  None of it is my business other than keeping my kids from being the next hospitalization.

If you are seriously concerned about “the next hospitalization” why did you not mention this in the OP, instead expressing dissatisfaction that you weren’t involved in the house selection?  Seems like you wouldn’t be entertaining the idea of staying with them anyway (which I get) - so why would you want them to go through the hassle of working with you to find a layout when you wouldn’t agree to it anyway?[/quote]

What I’m primarily trying to untangle is whether my in laws actually want us to stay in the same house or if they’re politely saying “oh but we have room”.  If they’re just saying it to be polite I’d like them to stop because it’s going to lead to my older child feeling disappointed. I also think it’s less stress on my in laws to not worry about the little kids getting hurt.

From my perspective I would do it for a day or two, if it is seriously important to my in laws. More than that is exhausting because my husband and I have to watch every second.
