skinut2234 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Have issue that needs some validation. My sister-in-law...... (wife's sister) has never really been in tun with family. She is kind of a whacko (religious fanatic)- who comes around like ONCE a year to see my kids- She wants nothing to do with us or the kids except once a year she will come by to give them "presents" - usually something like rosary beads (I have no issues with religion -just not my thing) Today- she calls my wife out of the blue and asks to pick up all 3 of my kids (who are young) and take them to a church service for 2 hours. Mind you - she has no children- I told my wife I am uncomfortable with it and maybe I am being overprotective... My wife does not think it's an issue- I do not really know her and just do not feel right letting her take 3 of them - driving 45 minutes away to a place they may not even want to go to because SHE wants to expose them to it. Am I wrong for feeling this way?? My wife is not backing as well as I hoped and I know this is her sister- but they are MY kids as well ..... thoughts, comments? Link to post Share on other sites
Cwazydude Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Well how old are you kids? I can understand you wanting to protect them from something you don't believe in as well, I'm not exactly a Jesus freak, But if your kids want to go then let them. Exposing them to this once wont hurt them, But if your sister in law keeps hanging around she'll brainwash them. Link to post Share on other sites
Author skinut2234 Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 my kids are young- 7,6 amd 4 and it something she wants to do - not them (I cannot get them to sit for anything longer than like half-hour) Just have an issue with her never being around at all and then suddenly wanting to take them there- maybe it's me- but I still do not feel comfortable Link to post Share on other sites
Cwazydude Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Of Course not, I wouldn't myself. But hopefully, Your kids won't like sitting down and listening about something they cannot even begin to understand, and they will never want to go back. I don't think you have much ground for stopping them this one time, But I believe that after this you can make sure they never have to go back. Link to post Share on other sites
