Boyfriend parents
In need of some advice: My boyfriends mother would like to keep our little one overnight or while we go out. I am very uncomfortable with this. My boyfriend has a 3 year old son and they keep him sometimes or bring him when they come to visit. I've just observed some things that they do with him that makes me very uncomfortable. His mom has already mentioned he is getting to be too much for her. She mentioned she gives him nighttime cold medicine at night so he'll go to sleep. She FaceTimed us once saying I'm taking him back to his mother so I gave him some nighttime medicine so he'll sleep the car ride. He looked so out of it I was not happy seeing that. And she's also mentioned when josh (my boyfriend) was young she put it in his soppy cup. If she can't handle a 2/3 year old how could she handle a 4 month old? My boyfriend is upset I allow my mother to watch her while at work and occasionally if we have a date night. My parents are also younger than his. His dad is 75 and mother is 56. So I explained I can understand why little ones may be too much on them now but they also have to understand that.

Everybody, regardless of occupation or state, is technically a mandated reporter. If you are aware of child abuse/neglect/etc. and do not report, you can get into trouble. I would most definatley call CPS. You can do it annonymously. Maybe you can talk with your boyfriend about allowing his parents to have your child for very short periods of time with very strict guidlines to the point that if they break a rule, they lose the option of being a caregiver. Maybe you can start off slowly with them coming to your home to care for your child while you clean the house or something? Communication is key. Express your concerns to your boyfriend and his parents and let them know the consequences for not following your directions.
His mother lives in Georgia, I'm not sure if she knows they're currently in and out of court to try and get custody rights worked out.
Yes I was very shocked. His parents live in Florida and his ex lives in Georgia so the times he is unable to get his son they get him which is about once a month. Or they bring him when they come to visit. So they do not have custody of him. But now he says he feels I'm favoring my family bc I won't let his watch our little one
You need to have a serious conversation with your bf and his mom.
