[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If MIL and husband are both fine with it, then I'm going to make some assumptions that OP doesn't like her inlaws that much and is looking for reasons to avoid sending her kid. I'd bet OP is overblowing the addiction danger; otherwise, husband would not be down with sending their kid there (MIL is arguable on this point - because as others have noted she may be enabling).

When my husband suggests we spend time with his family (who we only see every couple years because they are horrid), I always have excuses: uncle is sick and will make DS sick; their dog will give DS bad allergies, [b]BIL acts like a pedophile[/b].... But seriously, if i liked these people remotely, I would just deal with those issues or they wouldn't bother me nearly as much.

In any event, I'm not sure what the "danger" presented by BIL is. Knowing that husband and MIL both support this, I think it sounds like the danger is nil, and I would be fine with it - after husband discusses with MIL the need to not leave DS alone with BIL.  [/quote]if you liked your in-laws more it would be ok for BIL to act like a pedophile? YOu have to be the biggest dimwit on DCUM today.[/quote]
