One of my boys has some delays due to mix of reasons. I had a very risky pregnancy with him, then in the hospital he was almost put into NICU, then he had failure to thrive, followed by hearing loss, then he regained the hearing (it was due to fluid). Anyway, so he has some delays that have caused his learning to be a bit off. My husband and I decided to punish him strictly with time outs. My parents know this, we went to go see them, and openly my father hit him. This was because my son wanted to take a nap and my father didn't think he needed to. Now my husband doesn't want to go to visit them at the holidays because he's more afriad than before that this will happen again. I agree, but I don't know how to approach this with my parents. They don't know that we saw it. I also don't know how to just cancel the plans I've already made without them wanting to come here instead. I've never trusted my father alone with my kids, and now I have even more of a reason not to.
