[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real issue is that you are graciously providing free childcare and in return they decided it is appropriate to crap on your life choices. What a-holes![/quote]

Saying they want their kids to participate in their online schooling is not crapping on OP’s life choices. OP may not have the bandwidth to do it, in which case the sister can remove her kids from OP’s care, which it seems like she’s doing.[/quote]

From the OP: "her husband wrote me a strongly worded email about how homeschooling is good enough for my kids but not theirs"[/quote]

Huh?  OP homeschools by choice, I assume.  Her SIL and BIL don't want that.  I really doubt he said "good enough for your kids but not mine."  He probably said "we want them to do the online curriculum from their school."  OP is projecting.  [/quote]

He said that it would be unethical for him to trust me to teach his kids, but that he wasn't judging my own choices for my kids.  So, yeah, I do think that is what h was saying.

And even though the whole thing is very uncomfortable now and it makes me sick and I can barely sleep, I did say that I would obviously take my niece and nephew all next week too at least, including Monday which is a holiday.  Afterward I don't know. I think the underlying problem is that I am a doormat.  My sister IS at home ALL day but I know that they would be miserable there.[/quote]
