Ugh, how can they think I would be comfortable with them watching my baby when I see how they "watch" toddlers?! The 9th month old almost gets hit in the head by a toy helicopter an adult is flying indoors. The 17 month old did get hit in the head by the helicopter. 9 month old kept swallowing paper and crud from the carpet and no one stopped her. They put the 17 month old down for a nap without changing his diaper. And they wondered why he peed through the diaper and all over his pants?! He then turned on the garbage disposal! I get yelled at for saying his name sternly when he goes flying towards the stairs which have no gate. At a different time he grabbed a knife by the blade! Why was a knife in the living room to begin with?! They rough house with him and laugh when he falls. He ends up with cuts and bruises because they aren't careful.

Why in the world would I want my child to go through that?! Hubby doesn't understand why I'm soo upset! They are careless and lazy! I hate living with them! I can't wait to get my own home!

I hope he gets this job because it will allow me to stay home and take online courses and watch her. When I go to the actual classes she will either be watched by my sister or daycare sitter.

Sounds horrible for you... in- laws always think they know best.... my ex- in-laws would have
Been exactly like yours.... glad I got out when I did.

You probably really need to get a wriggle in and
Find your own place (easier said than done) but they won't change cause they don't think
Their in the wrong..
My sister was a child minder a few years ago and had my brothers little girl... but she though
She could just do what she wanted ....she cut
Her hair cause she thought it was too long.. ( no she is not s hair dresser) my brothers wife
was not happy. It got so bad that now my brother and sister don't talk anymore.And when
My sister had my eldest he always came home
With bruises.... he fell off a chair , he bumped
Into the door...etc etc. And he probably did... but how and why was she not watching him more... he was 8 monthssnd she only watched
Him 2 days a week...

Try and explain it in a different way yo your
Hubby.... with getting angry or upset... he
Doesn't see it cause its his parents..
Sorry can't help more...
Good luck

Babies are precious and your not carrying your baby for 9 months for them to bruise your baby. If your going to live with them keep an eye on your baby. Its fine to be over protective in that kind of household.

Im with u on that one. I cant stand my bfs family and would never trust them to watch my kids ever again. When my son was 5 months old they gave him apple juice that wasnt watered down so it gave him the runs. Later on i found out they were giving him whole milk instead of his sensitive formula. My daughter had a burn on her arm that no one knew what happened but they covered it up with a long shirt.

I agree, they will try to help first and sounds like they need it before someone gets hurt really bad :(

Honey I hate to be the person who jumps at this and not that I am for people having their kids taken but maybe you should call social services/CPS? They don't always take.kids away they'd just do an investigation and make them clean the house and.probably take parenting classes from.the sounds of it. BUT the best part is that you will be kept anonymous and you know that at least you've done what you can to keep those babies safe AND that if they don't get their act together that the children will be placed in better care.
On another note I would never let someone like that watch my children and just tell your husband you feel they have too.much on their hands already and this is your new baby and you want to make sure he/she gets all the attention in the world and the very beat of care!

Maybe your hubby doesn't see it bc they are not his children.  hopefully he will change once it's his child.  Best of luck!

[NicoleCherie]

No, they aren't mine. My hubby is their uncle. I'm pregnant with my first and going to use cloth diapers. They've told me they won't use them if they watch her. I want to scream at them, "she's my daughter and I am making all decisions. If you don't like it then fu ck off!" They constantly tell me that I will hate cloth diapers. My niece is in them. I watch her 3x a week. If I didn't like them my sister would let me use disposable on her. But I love them, they're easy to use and cheap.

[Morrisfamily2012]

Wow.. They are asking for an accident that the kids won't just "bounce" back from. Just curious but are the toddlers yours? I'd be pissed too! I know I won't let my mil babysit ny newborn nor when he gets a older. She put 2 of her grandkids infront of southpark and told them to watch it. The oldest(5) took the younger(3) by the hand and came to me and said nana put a bad cartoon on mommy wouldn't be happy. I'm sorry but kids need watching all the time. No lazy way out.

[NicoleCherie]

The house is never clean. They are hoarders I swear. The 17 month old had batteries in his mouth one day. They let them run into the other room and say, 'he will be fine' then wonder why he gets into stuff. I've tried explaining to hubby but he gets angry at me and says I'm over reacting and they're fine. I am soo pissed right now.

[Trainermom]

Wow!!  Does he not see what happens?  Maybe try and explain your concerns.  I surely would not let my kids be left in that house alone.  

[apefro]

Wow thats crazy.just tell them,this is my child and while ur watching my kid u need to go by my rules.in laws r horrible I no... But ur the mom so when they are to lazy for the rest of the kids then u have to step n and say smethng id just look at them and say "if ud get up and do something then I wouldbt have to" im a lil carefree with my lil girl but the knife the diaper the garbage disposal, and stuff like tht would have pissed me off too
