   I am have written about my parents in law before and they are generally
   very helpful great people who are very kind and whom we see a lot. They
   come down at least once a week to see dd and often babysit if we ask.

   Because of this loss of safety awareness that seems to afflict many
   otherwise caring and careful people, I think that every parent has got
   to make their own assessment of whether their own parents or in-laws
   are appropriate, safe carers, and act according to that assessment.
   In practice, Tillysmummy, I agree with wickedwaterwitch's advice, and
   would go the gentle route, but would keep to a bare minimum the amount
   of time that your in-laws are left 'home alone'.

   someone contradicts your hard work by using the road instead,
   potentially confusing your child.
   I too, don't want my in-laws looking after my DS. It hasn't come to it
   yet, but I am perfectly happy to be made to look a paranoid mother
   rather than cause friction between DH and his parents.
