Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

My dh's brother is a very nice guy, never married, never has a girlfriend. I used to assume he was gay, but we've never seen him with a boyfriend either. He's also great with little kids but, IMO, a little too into them. As my dd gets older (she is 4yo), I feel uncomfortable seeing him, though I would never leave them alone together. Am I just paranoid? I feel I must trust my instincts. Do I say anything to dh? We only see his brother once or twice a year, he doesn't live nearby.

I think you're being paranoid to brand him a child molester because he doesn't fit your image of a regular guy. Don't leave your dd alone with him if you're worried, but I wouldn't talk about him behind his back even with your own dh
[ Reply | More ]i guess you always have to trust your instincts. but some people are also just really into kids--especially if your BIL is lonely and afraid he won't get to have his own! i think it's sad a single guy has to be so careful about being enthusiastic about hanging out with kids. there was a david sedaris essay about how he was trying to help this lost kid find his parents but at the same time he was terrified people would suspect him of stealing some kid for nefarious purposes because he is gay, and gay guys apparently aren't allowed to like hanging out with kids either.
[ Reply | More ]trust your instincts. who cares if you're wrong. my uncle tried to molest me and he was the nicest guy in a seemingly happy marriage. aunt & him just got divorced and am so curious to know whether he molested my niece. especially since she went to live with her mom 2 states away (despite going away to college)
