I agree with the poster who said "in my house, these are my rules".

Agree, unless you are being paid to look after that child - ie being paid to do a job. In which case, the parents have a right to say what is and what isn't acceptable to an certain degree. So if the parents have a no junk food/fizzy drinks policy for instance, then that needs to be respected and adhered to IMO.

But the fact that you have been asked shows that they are happy for him to be in your care.

He had a childminder all lined up, but they wanted one to one care, and obviously as i sit on my butt watching Jeremy Kyle all day, im not in a position to say no i don't want to.:rolleyes:

They need to pay a nanny, then! £80 - £100 a day.

Thanks, i'm expecting loads of emotional blackmail because getting a childminder will be their only option. Sod em though, i was pretty annoyed that it was assumed i'd take an active role in his childcare once his mum went back to work. I'm going to start being more assertive. If all hubby's family want to fall out with me over this, then that's their problem. Sorry getting a bit of a rant going! Thanks again.
