Thank you so much to everyone who shared their own experiences with me. I was feeling very pressured by my in-laws to let this man meet my child. Your support of my instinct to tell this man to basicly get lost has help me alot.
For clarification my husband is a wonderful person who would never hurt a child. If flaw in this story is his desire to allow two things to be true. His uncle is a pedophile who is capable of genuine friendship and kindness.
I have told my husband that this is a line I cannot cross and that even if he believes our son is safe, with us watching him, I am not comfortable. A dog that bites may not bite again…but do you let them near children .. even supervised. NO!
He fully supports my decision and will be telling the family that “we” decided not to let him meet our son.
Thanks again for helping confirm that I am not the crazy one here.
