A couple of months ago my boyfriends family mainly his mom and brother told us that if we didn't move closer to them that they would call SCAN on us. We aren't mean to our daughter or anything like that. She is a very happy baby. The only thing that they could possibly complain about would be because she will not wear shoes (she has a knot on her foot that bothers her when she wears shoes) so her feet and socks aren't always clean. But, I called SCAN myself and asked them about everything that was said and they told me not to worry about it. Anyway, my problem is this. My boyfriends brother is now wanting my daughter to be in his wedding. If this had happened to you would you allow your daughter to be in the wedding?

I would let her be in the wedding just so his family can see how happy your daughter really is and they can also see that you are a good parent and when the wedding is finished I would pack up and head back home.

WOW! I feel for you. That is a hard place to be in. The fact that his family is threatening to call SCAN (which I am assuming is like child protective services) is defintely something that needs to be dealt with. It sounds like you did by calling them and explaining the situation. As long as you are treating her right and making sure that she is cared for, you should not have anything to worry about. As far as her being in the wedding, I think that you should sit down and discuss with your brother-in-law that you are concerned about allowing her to do it because of the threats that he and his mother have been making. Personally, I would not allow her to do it unless they opted to see how irrational they are being.
