Hmmm........this is a very interesting proposition and I am sure many out there would want to know.
On one hand we can't say No to her directly but yet worry it would break her sensitive and fragile feeling. Just how do all of us do it. I don't want to go into it directly but we will analyse the indirect approach.
1. Tell her that the kid are afraid and don't like to follow other people except their own parents.
2. The kid are not feeling well and are sensitive to dust and crowd.
3. The father is very fierce and very stern. Discipline is very important. No hush hush and No means no.
4. The world outside is very dangerous with all kinds of people and hence not advisable to take kid out so far alone.
5. Shouldn't pamper the kid with toys and purposely buy so many toys for him. Not good to pamper and will only spoilt the kid.
6. Interfere with their sleeping time and pattern. Not good to interrupt their daily routine. Weekends ok but then weekend will be another different story (just a lame excuse - parents are there for them during weekends).
7. The other kid was disappointed didn't get to go. Bias and not right.
8. If there is any train breakdown and etc..........and unforeseen incident, the father will be hopping mad and angry. Who will take the responsibility ?
9. Taking kids out is allowed but have to teach the kid to ask permission from parents/guardian. Discipline and obedience.
10. Honesty and integrity. Not cheating and proceed first and tell later kind of attitude. The father don't tolerate this at all.
Therefore as punishment and to let your mother-in law knows you mean business, her visitation right and time will be taken away. That is how we show and mean NO to your mother-in law. Hopefully I have my wifey support else this will not be the first and last incident of dis-respect.
