My sister has suffered from eating disorders for many years and has been in and out of hospital for the past 5, she has been resussed once because of her refusal to eat and her body shutting down. She has just got out of hospital in London after discharging herself once she reached a 'safe weight'. She is currently living at my parents 4 miles from me. Mum asked if they could have my children for the day next week (they are 3 and 10 months and don't know my sister at all) I have said yes this is fine but under no circumstances are my parents to let my sister drive the children anywhere (2 months ago she was given 2 weeks to live I don't think she should be driving as I don't feel she has enough strength to perform an emergency stop if neccessary) and I don't want her walking my ds to the local shop alone (this is along a very busy A road and they have to cross it, we have been told that her illness has made her frail and therefore I worry what would happen to ds if she were to fall and hurt herself or faint while walking alon as he wouldn't be able to walk back alone to get help etc) My mum has said I ABU and that they are her neice and nephew, I have pointed out I am very happy for them to spend the day with them but please not to let my sister leave the house unaccompanied with any of the children (playing in garden or upstairs in their play room is fine unsupervised) So AIBU or do you think I have a fair point?
