[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH wants to take one kid to visit MIL for a weekend.  I flat out said no.  My reasons include:

1. MIL is extremely needy and my child will be left to sit on the couch in front of the TV while DH deals with MIL.
2. [b]One child has a food allergy and DH is not careful about checking labels, eating out etc...[/b]
3. One child is SN and MIL calls him a brat to his face (and tried to smack him once).  
4. [b]DH simply cannot remember SN childs meds[/b].  SN child cannot focus and cannot function.  DH then cannot deal with SN child and yells.
5. [b]MIL's house is filthy (I mean like hoarders filthy).
[/b]
There are more reasons, but these are some of the biggest.  No way am I letting DH take a child with him alone.  We can all go (and I really hate to go), but he cannot take a child by himself.  He is angry at me right now, but it is what it is.  I will not sacrifice my children's safety/well being b/c MIL wants DH to bring one to her for a weekend.  FWIW, DC's are 6 and 9.

This is a vent b/c I have no one IRL to say any of this to other than DH who is unreasonably mad at me at the moment.[/quote]

Doesn't sound like your DH is capable of taking care of your child. Perhaps you need to address this issue at home before he takes the child anywhere. What does he normally do when you aren't around? Tell him to grow up and take care of his children!

Seriously, If my DH put our child's life in danger because of #2 & #4, we'd be talking divorce. [/quote]
