In laws

Afternoon all.

I'm having real problems with the way I feel about my I'n laws .
They have cause alot of upset between my husband and myself to the point we nearly split .
They have said sorry and think everything should be normal but I can't let it go to the fact I can't stand them near my children and just want to run with my baby when I see her holding him.
This I's really starting to cause problems again between me and my husband but I can't help how I feel and I'm unsure how to handle it .

    they are your kids, keep them away from the in laws if you want. if peripheral family can make you nearly split with your husband, thats not much of a marriage, in my opinion.

    But they are also (presumably) her husband's children and he may not want to keep them away from his parents so not quite that simple.
    Also we don't know what the in-laws did that put the marriage under strain, rather harsh to say it couldn't have been much of a marriage for them to have nearly split up.

    It's hard to advise with so little detail.

    There was also the small mTter of her threating to kill me over the phone when I had a disagreement with her.

    Good.
    I have difficult inlaws. My only advice is to make some ground rules & stick to them regardless.
