Question: What else can I do about in-law's messy house and my toddler?
My mother-in-law's house is a mess. My daughter(Gracie) is almost 2 and wants to visit her grandma (we live next door) but I am scared she will get hurt. My husband talked to her about cleaning her house because there are so many choking hazards everywhere (not to mention dirt) but she just won't do it. She asks Gracie if she wants to go home with her, of course she does, and I have to keep making excuses for her not to go and the baby get upsets when Grandma leaves without her. So last week when she was working, I spent 4 hours cleaning her house. I found a broken picture frame, steak knives, stick pins, small glass rocks, jewelry, screw drivers, and an ice pick (just to mention a few) laying right in her living room floor. Yesterday, my husband came back from her house steaming and said it was a wreck again. We've told her the dangers and she just doesn't see it. We could really use a break while she baby-sits but she wants to do it in her home. What else can we do?
Answer: You're the parents and you are right about the safety issue. So, tell her very nicely that you've done what you can to help her with her house, and since she's not able to keep it adequately child-proofed, her only option is to babysit at your house. If she doesn't accept that, then hire another sitter.
If she refuses, knowing that she's putting the baby at risk AND making her cry, then point that out to her and ask her why she would want to do that? I suspect that your MIL has some other issues here, but she's playing a very ugly power game with your child as the pawn. Your husband is going to have to deal with her, so keep your mouth shut, and make him do the talking. She may be looking at a way to get at you this way.....
Good luck.
