This is the month of hell. Wed night my SIL is coming to visit with her devil son. My husband, FIL and I are supposed to go to dinner with them..it is a nightmare. He is bad. Then God help me if she comes back to my house. He is destructive! And my SIL just laughs when he's bad. I want to smack him! They are staying til Friday I think so I'm sure I will be subjected to him for 2 more days. Then the end of the month we are going on a white water rafting trip and she is bringing him! Leave the brat home! Who brings a 4 yr old white water rafting. My nerves are on edge.
Ay caramba, that does suck! If she's your SIL, that means it's your brother's kid, right? Any possibility of having a little chat with him before they arrive to request that he have a sit-down with his wife to discuss acceptable behavior in other people's houses?

Maybe the little bastard will fall out of the boat, lol.
Hahahahahaha!
Next idea- get some of that blue painters tape that doesn't leave a sticky residue and tape down all your breakables- if she asks, smile and say that you just decided to be prepared for his little "accidents" this time. If she has any shame, this should get to her.

Why does she need to come back to your house? Who would suggest it? Can't you just say straight out, "I don't think that's a good idea, we have left broken glass all over the floor and are looking after an experimental flock of rabid vampire bats that are flying free in the house"?
The thing about the rabid experimental vampire bats had me laughing my ass off. I agree, tell her you're spraying for pests (ie her kid but you don't have to tell her that) and its not safe to be in the house.

OK, mad idea here. Don't invite them back to yours. It's YOUR house. That means you invite who you want and don't invite who you don't want. If you don't want badly behaved kids in your house, you don't let them in. Just because they are family doesn't mean you HAVE to accept their shit.
Not much you can do about the rafting, and I agree, stupid place to take a small child.

This ^.......why is it so much of an issue for people to say 'no'..?? Honestly it's not that difficult and the more you do it the easier it becomes.
