Here is my dilemma, I haven’t had my baby yet, but need some advice. My mother in law and I dont agree on most parenting subjects. With my son regardless of what I wanted, she did whatever she wanted with him, i.e. fed him foods I didnt want him to have yet, smoking around him (big no no in my book) things of that sort. When my son was a baby, they never kept him over night, they lived a quarter mile away and saw him often. Well my in laws have moved 2.5 hours away from us. They get my son at least one weekend a month and keep him for 3-4 days. Not too fond of him going that far away for that long, but they are his grandparents and I dont want to deprive either of a relationship. They didnt start keeping him overnight until he was 2. I know I do not want them to keep my newborn baby overnight. They smoke in their cars, in their house and around my son, I dont want my baby around that. What do I do? Suck it up, or stand my ground? How do I avoid it nicely? Thanks!!
