Title says it all. We nicely tell him and his wife that we don’t want them kissing our two year old daughter on the lips. I don’t feel like I need to justify my reasons for that.This goes on a few different times after we mention something. Giving the benefit of the doubt, I decide to verbally tell them “cheek kisses only” as we’re leaving their house. Mother-in-law gets it with no problems. Step-father-in-law heard me say it twice, feet away from him, and does it anyway.Enraged, I write them a text message stating that my daughter is “cheek kisses only”. Literally no response. They just don’t acknowledge my presence for the next couple months.So I’m thinking that rather than call him out for evading me (which I feel I have every right to call out) we’ll make this and a couple other situations the example reason for why we can’t have confidence in them to watch our daughter. After a couple months, sure enough, mother-in-law asks my wife when our daughter is staying over and my wife lays it all out.Well, expectedly this did not get received well. To the point where her mother wants nothing to do with us. Blocked on Facebook, out of their lives indefinitely along with any relatives that agree with us. We even stated that she personally could come over to our house to watch our daughter but that was not good enough – all or nothing.Has anyone had similar situations to this? If so, how did you handle it and did it ever resolve over time? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2D3wsO6
