[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 656162, member: 1550"] I guess I've been burned too much being upfront. I don't know this woman or how she'd react to anything u said about her child. It is probable that she is well aware of it already and will not want to hear it again. If she gets angry is ur son the type to get angry at u? Are unable to deal with him maybe turning his frustration onto u rather than this women? I used to just say what I felt I should say. I have found that this old approach is in my opinion unwise. People that u don't know very well (and some that u do) tend to get hostile when u are very honest about ur feelings.My ex daughter in law blew a gasket when I mentioned autism and my son backed her up. She is a difficult woman...what is this woman like? My advice is to go to your doctor and tell him all the stress u r under and maybe he will tell u that for ur sake he doesn't want u baby sitting. This is not something u are required to do. I know I could not babysit that child. Has she gotten him interventions? As ice said this is touchy. U can't save this child. Legally only bio. Dad and mother can. I would talk to ur son, if u feel u should tell ur point of view. Let him handle it. He may get mad too but in the end he will have e to live with that child and u are free to stop babysitting. This is touchy. I have learned late in life not to be so forward.it can cause really hard feelings. Are u prepared for that? You have gotten many points of view. This is complicated. And touchy. U know the personalities of those involved and if they are willing to listen or explode. Suzirs approach is diplomatic Also decide if it is healthy for u to keep sitting. Ur son is an adult getting married and daycare should be up to him and her. Don't be a doormat those shoes really stink!!! Think hard. Good luck! We are on ur side [/QUOTE]
