In today's Ask Amy, grandparents take a child out on a not-so-safe ride.
Seven months ago, my-in-laws took my not-quite five-year-old child for an overnight, and broke the one rule that my spouse and I set for our child’s time with them: NOT to ride their ATV.We reminded them of this rule as they were leaving for the outing.
An additional concern I have is that they have unsecured firearms in their home and refuse to get a gun safe to lock their weapons. My spouse is more inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, despite these and other differences.My take is that these grandparents should not have your child on their property without you or your spouse being physically present.
Each year in the U.S., nearly 350 children under 17 gain access to a gun and unintentionally kill or injure themselves or someone else, according toNot only do your in-laws exhibit extremely poor judgment regarding the safety of your child , but they obviously don’t respect your very reasonable requirements.
