White noise machine

So my two children (2 and 4 years) have used a white noise machine since they were babies and both love it, sleep really well with it. My husband hates it with a passion but he can only sleep whilst listening to a podcast. ( which I believe is just the same thing!) I don’t mind it, it really doesn’t bother me. A week ago my husband and I had planned to go out for an evening so we had my PIL over to look after our children. When we got home my in laws had removed their white noice machine and hid them! This is not the first time but at least back then I could find the machines! I still cannot find them I actually believe they have thrown them away. I haven’t said anything to them or my husband as he will just agree and say good! But they have also not said anything to me. I just find it so disrespectful! I now can’t trust them to look after our children in our home and would prefer to call our babysitter who at least will listen and respect me. What would you do??

That's really rude. What harm were the machines doing? Nothing as far as I can see. Why would they even think that's ok for them to do? They wouldn't be looking after my kids again, especially if you have a reliable babysitter!

That's a big no thanks for me. If it's part of our routine and my child does better on it, they're going to get used. I wouldn't let them babysit. It sucks but my in laws aren't allowed to be alone with my little after all the stupid shit my MIL has done.

Why would they throw them away? I’d definitely ask where they’ve put them or say they have to buy you a new one. I wouldn’t be able to trust them to babysit again xx

Id just buy it again, but yeah not acceptable

Excuse me but who the fuck do they think they are? Who hides someone else’s property?? Especially when it’s child related stuff. Are they ok?? 🥴 I would 100% call them out on it and ask where the fuck they have hidden YOUR white machine and to remind them that you are not their fucking child and they can fuck off if they think they’ll be looking after your child again! 😤

Wtf??? Why wouldn't you ask them? I'd track down your belongings and not have people over to watch the kids who would throw out your possessions. That's crazy!

you should absolutely say where on earth have your kids white noise machines gone, and if they have thrown them say that you expect them to buy new ones to replace them or they can say goodbye to babysitting privileges !!! x

Yeah... you should be messaging them asking where they've put them because they're currently sitting there laughing about how they've hidden your stuff and got away with it. That's totally unacceptable and they either need to return them or replace them. What a joke!

Why haven’t you said anything to them? They can’t just throw away your kids stuff

Yeah I wouldn’t even be able to hold this in & if he agrees so much, he can go stay at mommy & daddy house! That’s crazy rude & even if he doesn’t like it, he can’t possibly agree w his parents coming in & throwing away things that don’t even belong to them NOR thats in their house. I’d be pissed & they’d hear all about it. The fucking nerve. 😑

Take something equally as important from their house and when they ask for it back, use it as ransom for the white noise machines.
