What should i do if my in-laws are constantly letting our son do things or have things that we dont allow him?

Should i just suck it up and let his grandparents spoil him, or should i try and speak up again. They keep giving him suckers and hes only two years old, they let him stay outside at night and he comes home with a million mosquito bites…im just frustrated.

Answer #1

This is your son and it’s your right and responsibility as a mother to protect him and raise him. If your in-laws can’t respect your rules, then perhaps they need a little time out. Maybe it’s time you had a little talk with them and set out the ground rules, then let them think about it for a week or two before you allow them to see your son again. I hope your beau is on your side, though, because this could be really tough if it’s you against all of them.

Answer #2

have a sit down talk with them or find someone else to watch them if that’s what your in-laws are doing for you.(thats worse case-scenario) good luck!

Answer #3

Tell them that if they do not follow your rules They Can’t see your kid for a while.

Answer #4

tell them no. take your son away fromt hem for a while. get your hubby to tell them no since they’re your in-laws and might feel that you’re trying to take advantage or whatever.

Answer #5

i agree dnt let them rule your son that will confus a kid quick bc there get in the idea that they have a bad mommy and a good mommy bc i have seen it happen

Answer #6

I have the same problem with my in laws. But to be honest that’s what grandparents are for , to spoil them lol. I understand how you feel and myself have come to terms that my child will only be a child once and i’m going to let them live a childs life, suckers and all lol. These are little things you can let slide. When it comes to bigger and more important decisions you will not let anyone out rule you. I don’t believe in not letting the grandparents/aunt/uncles etc…not see the kid, because then I’m punishing my child for no reason, they don’t understand. If you really can’t stand what they are doing , then again try and talk to them, older people are set in their ways though, times have changed lol…..again this is just my opinion and not everyone is going to agree. :) Good luck and hope everything works out in the end!
