I'm taking part in a sporting event this weekend along with tens of thousands of others. My MIL is harassing us hourly - literally - that it's too dangerous etc.
MIL is so risk averse that she's frankly paranoid. When our dc were younger she'd actively stop them from going on playground equipment rather than supervise and encourage. When we lived in what she considered to be a less desirable area she didn't visit for years because of the "high crime rate".
I'm still going to this event and we may even take our dc. We've travelled across the Atlantic and to the Middle East post-9/11; I've travelled to and around London on numerous occasions since 7/7.
But her constant harping on is starting to have an effect on me.
AIBU to think this shouldn't be so?

To think I can, and indeed should, go to this event this weekend
