[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have a tween and teen, how exactly are you expecting them to be supervised at a water park? Or are you just concerned you teen son will be made to supervise his toddler cousin? At a place like GWL, we have our tweens check in with us every 45 minutes or so, but we are not doing every slide with them. I’m a little confused about what the safety issue is for your kids, since yours are a tween and teen.[/quote]

It’s not GWL it’s a bigger park.  I worry that my 15 will be left alone in the park with 5 kids 12 and under including a 1 year old, a situation that I consider pretty stressful.  [/quote]
In that case, I would have expressed that to BIL instead of the more general complaint to his mother. That is a perfectly rational concern. Or just let your tween go (assuming BIL doesn’t usually put the tweens in charge of the little kids). [/quote]

I didn't make a general complaint.  I was very specific about my concerns.

Since I've expressed these concerns to him, multiple times, and he's continued the same behavior, there isn't a conversation that he and I could have that would make me feel comfortable.  On the other hand if she had said "Oh, I was just planning on bringing the older 3" or "We're leaving the little one home with mom, and I promise to stay with the middle two."  Then yes, I'd let them go.  I actually initially thought that it was just going to be the older kids, which is why I didn't just say no right away.

We have the same issue with the tween, but less so.  [/quote]
