[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should have kept your mouth shut unless it was directly to your BIL.  [/quote]

And just not let my kids go?[/quote]

No, if you felt strongly about your brother-in-law, then you should have addressed the issue with him personally and not with his mommy. It was really immature and backstabbing of you.[/quote]

NP here. I disagree. I don't broach subjects like this with men. Too risky, it could set them off on a violent tirade. Men only defend themselves, in my experience. It's not as if he will take your words as constructive criticism. Men actually don't care at all about things like children's safety and comfort. Your BIL sounds like a typical man. Watch out for him, he could be abusing his wife or doing something predatory with the younger children.[/quote]

Omg, you went  waaaaay out on the ledge here. Your perception here has nothing to do with the context and is pretty unhinged. Let's work on your issues in another thread. Jeeez. I need an effing shower after that response.

OP- You've been bottling up some concerns which would have been  best dealt with in an more problem solving  win- win way, rather than a passive aggressive triangulation which has now cost everyone what was a very nice family relationship.  Why couldn't you have just sorted this out matter of factly, and kindly, with him and not in this way?[/quote]
