So, I could really use some help on this one... We are going to be having a very difficult conversation with my inlaws soon.

Your basically going to let them know that they can't work their magic on your baby right?!! D@mn them if they don't understand. They can't force their ways and beliefs on you and ur family. I would tell them how I felt and if they didn't like it ... the hell with them... that's just me! If they wanna act funny about it they will miss out on the baby. Which I'm sure after awhile they will realize what's right hopefully! When I was pregnant with DD my FIL and I couldn't stand each other, I still don't like him. But because he couldn't change his ways he wasn't around my child. The child does lose out too, but hey something had to give with him!
I hope all goes well with the convo! If she sit in the corner and cross her arms, please take a pic and put it on facebook lol
Also, they sound like the kind of people that would do it anyways, so I'd be careful about leaving the baby alone with them.
My parents agree on the no-chiropractics subject and will be watching them to make sure they do not do it if we're not around. We will NOT be leaving the baby alone with my husband's parents.
I am so worried they're going to pitch a major fit and then get even more stuck on what they think is right...
I'm sorry your having to deal with this.
Crummy.
Omg, I would NOT let them do chiropractice on my child at that age period!

Wow. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I can't believe you even have to deal with such an assinine issue. It honestly sounds like you're in no-win situation. You obviously have to let your feelings known and set some groundrules, but it doesn't sound like there's any way to avoid having your in-laws get upset. In that case, I'd just say it as to the point as possible so there's no mistaking the message and leave it alone. DH and I have discussed it and there will be no adjustments on baby. Now, how about some coffee?" :smileywink: Ugh, seriously though, I'm sorry. This just sounds like a crappy situation all around.
I have a friend who smoked through her whole 1st pregnancy and the baby has a lot of breathing issues & illnesses. They've turned to alternate medicines and used a chiropractor on him. I don't agree with it but he seems to be ok so far.
Yikes, I don't deal well with people like this. I think I would just flat out tell them its not going to happen, period. Don't sugar coat anything for them. If they get mad, oh well. They will get happy in the same pants they got mad in. I can't believe they try and adjust your pets, how ridiculous.
Much luck!
