Other family members won't put the helmets on the boys

[Guest guest]

I finally got the helmets for my 14.5 months twin boys last night. I was happy. But then I tried to put the helmets on them for 1 hour. The grandparents were totally pissed off when they see their grandsons in helmets and when they took off the helmets, of course there's a lot of sweat. They were super angry and yelling at me, it seems that I did the worst thing in the world to my babies... They said they won't put the helmets on what so ever during day time when they watch the kids.

My husband didn't support my decision from the beginning, which makes the situation worse. i am an immigrant in Canada. My in-laws are here looking after my children since I just re-started working last week. It's too late to put the boys to day care due to the long waiting list. I just cannot do anything to prevent the grandparents from not putting the helmets on. I know I could quit and watch my kids myself, but then there's not enough money for everything.

I just paid ~$6000 dolloars yesterday for the helmets without knowing if the insurance company would cover (even if they do, it's only going to be 50%), and just after one night, they are asking me to throw the helmets away because they won't use them for sure.... I really don't know what to do... They just won't listen to me at all.
