Moms ego maniac

I feel uncomfortable to leave my kid with my parents. When me and my spouse tried in the past we were about to leave their house and saw my kid running around the pool on the deck with no one outside watching him. I went and told my mom she said my dad was out there watching. I said no hes not. She went out there after protesting how my dad is out there, then before we left we noticed again the kid is running around the pool with no supervision. I went inside again told my mom she said again "YOUR DAD IS WATCHING HIM..." And was seemingly annoyed. I said "listen I dont want him out of your sight for a second while I'm gone. Not even for a second. Even if dad is watching him." So she acted sad and went out there and I called when I got to the store to check up she acted sad and was like "yeah hes right here on the deck with me..."

Anyway the next time I tried to have them watch my child I said "look I just want to keep the pooldeck door closed while I'm gone" she then responds with "No I'm gonna be out here." (Shes never out there and seems like shes only saying this because I want the door closed) I then told her last time we were gonna leave they left my kid by the pool 3 times unaccompanied and she said its not true. She was getting angry about this and defensive and eventually said "If hes staying here this deck door stays open". So I said "Ok well clearly hes not staying here" and we left (mind you I drove an hour to get there we live long away)

My kid has never stayed over there again without me there because I dont trust them. I should add I had several concussions as a toddler and child when I was a kid and I cant help but feel it was their fault because they're so careless. Example one time my 6 year old sister was skating while holding me as a baby and dropped me on my head. Idk how this kind of shit even happens. They couldnt have been paying attention. I feel that I suffer with lasting issues from these concussions I had. The problem is I am going to soon need someone to watch my kid for a few days and I have no one else. I dont know what to say to them or what i should do. I dont trust my child there with their pool.

I dont think they know how bad this bothers me with the pool thing they think its an attack on them if I bring it up. Ive also never brought up the concussions.

    Perhaps you need to do a few background checks and hire an experienced babysitter? It would be worth it if you're looking out for your child's safety.

    My sister never leaves my nephew alone with our parents. They've always been neglectful of themselves and us growing up. My father still neglects himself and has developed a victim complex. My mother enables it and my sister is worried they might lose my nephew the way they lost us multiple times growing up, so she hires other people to watch her son. XD
