Yeah I would. It's not the kids fault he or she is the child of a jerk. I'd certainly limit the time I spent with the parent.

No. Honesty is the best policy. But you should be mature enough to handle such a situation so that it doesn't affect your child's happiness.

It would totally depend on why I couldn't stand the other person and what made that person so intolerable. As Cece said, the kid's not to blame for having a parent who's a total idiot.

It depends on how deep my disdain ran....but I definitely wouldn't like it and if I felt the kids parents were horrible enough to the point where their personalities had the potential to trickle down to their kid (and mine), then I would make a case of it.

Yes, I'd stay mum about it. Kids can and should date who they want without the petty arguments of their parents being a deciding factor.

If it was someone I despised and it got wedding bells serious between them? If the guy was decent and treated my daughter well I would let her know that I would be as civil to the offending family member as possible.

I wouldn't be vocal about it, meaning I wouldn't harp on it, but she/he would know.
