Would you let an alcoholic watch your baby even if they were related and promised not to drink?

Q: My mother in law is married to a raging alcoholic. I’ve never seen him violent before when he’s drunk but I have seen him stumbling around drunk as ever. My mother in law wants to watch my baby and they promise they wont drink around her but I don’t think they will stay true to their word. I have told them no but they are very upset about it. Do you think I am right to feel this way???

A: tell them how you feel. they need to hear the truth, since a lot of family members tend to tip toe around this issue. if you let them babysit, you might not only be endangering your child, but you are enabling the alcoholic. tell them when they get help you will fully support them but for now you prefer they just visit with the baby while youre there.
