About 5 years ago, my mother in-law spanked my son ( 17 months at the time) for running away from her, she did this in front of me! I spoke with my husband about it later that evening, he agreed with me that she shouldn't of done it. The next day I explained to her that only myself and my husband (her son my son's father) would be the only people allowed to physically disciplin our kids. Not her or anyone else. As angry as I was, I was very civil during this conversation. She said she agreed,and as a mother she could understand how I felt. Well 3 days later, my son had gone towards an electrical out, about a ft away. My mother in-law smacked his hands, again right in front of me. In other situations,she's made comments like..." you better hope your mother gets a hold of you before I do!" Needless to say I'd had enough! Since then I've never let her watch the kids. Now she often asks the kids "when are you going to sleep over with us?" I'm stil against it, what should i do?
