older cousins and christmas

[tilder]

Am being careful with my words.

This is more a would ibu than aibu as I haven't done anything. Yet.

My dc are 6, 4 and 1. Their cousins are 8 and 5 and have been rather vocal lately regarding their recently acquired understanding about fc (am I being unnecessarily coy?). I really want the magic to last a few more years yet. Tbo if it were one of my children I would have a word with them. Would I be unreasonable to talk to my sil about this?

I have been told by mil in no uncertain terms that this has to happen at some point and I just have to suck it up.

Have the cousins said anything in front of your dc? And if they have why hasn't your sister given them short shift?

FC in our house is a glorified postman as mum, dad and other family members work to pay for what they want fc to bring my dc

Treas no we haven't seen the cousins since the summer. Saw mil today and she told me that they had been giggling about it, were very excited and were keen to enlighten my children. Mil seemed to think it was just a great game.

I was a bit surprised that the 5 yr old cousin knew too. I think her older brother told her - I would have been pretty miffed with him in sil's place.

I get on well with sil so will have a chat.
