Its my nans funeral this week. PIL knew my nan and plan to attend. I have suggested that the look after my dcs (aged 1 and 3) at the back of the church or atleast ds1 aged 3. MIL strongly objected and wants him completely away from any of it. She wants him babysat in our home by friends or she said she will just have to babysit herself and miss the funeral. No way will she even consider looking after him at the back of the church (dh and I will be at the front) as he is far too young and he will ask too many question and an experience like that will damage him give him nightmares. Er excuse me call me oldfashioned but as his mother isn't a decision/jugement like that mine too make? I don't think it will affect him like that if its handled right. Aren't funerals part of life? Noway would he go to the internment afterwards I wanted pil to babysit and take them to the wake and meet us there (which she is more than willing to do btw). Feel she is being very interfering in this!
