In laws joking about taking away my 16 month old from us cross country and raise her till she is 3 years old.
My in laws jokingly said that they want to take my younger child for them to raise in India as we stay in USA and this not even the first time they said it. When my husband said that she will not be without her mother they suggested that i stay with them for 6 months leaving my son and husband here.
When my husband said that we won’t live like that separately, and also that my son needs his mom and he can’t leave our daughter even for a day and added that even they know all these things won’t happen in reality.
At last they added a tagline ‘we wont separate mom and children’. Like who gave them the authority in first place?
They say that they are missing all her early childhood days and can’t see her often.
In reality they just left 6 months back in November from our house. My MIL stayed for 3 months and my fil for 1 month. They are planning to visit in a month and my MIL said that she will make my daughter get habituated to her. I don’t if it’s love bombing or just grandparents love.
