If you dislike your inlaws, because of disagreements you have, and you have decided you dont want any relationship with them. Do you punish your dh or kids by keeping them away from them too?

i absolutely cannot stand my inlaws. they are trashy, uneducated ignorant fucks that had 5 kids too many. however i never believed that they shouldn't see my daughter, they made that choice themselves.

No not at all, thats wrong IMO, if there gonna hurt my child then yes I would keep her away but not for something silly. Kids need there grandparents, just because we got married doesn't mean our parents get the short end of the stick.

Unless they have harmed or put my children in harm's way, then no.  I would not keep my kids from my inlaws or my parents.

Well no, but I don't allow my MIL to be alone with my kids

I do see her, although I'd rather not, for that very reason.  I wont' keep the kids from her, and I don't trust her alone with them.  Past experiences have taught me it is unwise

I told my husband I will never interfere with his relationship with his mother.  However if she can not treat ALL of my children properly she will see NONE of them.  I will be cordial to her but she will be kept at arms length.  If she steps out of line with my kids again I will loose my shit on here.  DH said if that 's how she wants it that's how she gets it.

At one point, yes. My inlaw relationship is fine at the moment, because I learned how to draw appropriate boundaries, and my MIL now respects my position as the mother of her grandchildren and the wife of her son. I feel it's just as damaging to a child to put them in the care of someone who will badmouth their parents in any way. So yes, I WILL withold my child from someone who openly disrespects me. Grandparents or not. Doesn't matter. Ask yourself this... if someone treated you poorly and wasn't related to you in any way... would you allow them around your children? I certainly wouldn't... so why should my husband's family get special treatment? I do the same for my family, and have cut off quite a few toxic members of my own family tree for the same reasons.

I don't like my MIL, because she expects us to tell her everything. She calls our landlord and asked if we paid rent yet and so on. She will pick up my sd behind our back but calls my husband a bad father for not having her 24/7. She doesn't like my son and told him several time that he is just a " product from a mistake". Mind you, my first husband died in iraq. While my son is proud of his dad, mil told the poor little guy that he burns in hell for killing people. But yet, i still let her see our daugther. My son is 8 and refuses to go there. I can't blame him.
