My kid was definitely exhibiting bad behavior- not defending that. He was yanking his feet backwards out of her hands- not kicking her. She confirmed that. (I followed up with her). That is not a regular thing for him. In general, we don't have a hard time getting him to follow directions. My post was about whether or not you would be upset if an adult hit your child.
I had just gotten out of the shower which is why I didn't get there sooner.
I still don't think you should hit kids.
My MIL and I have a pretty formal relationship but get along fine.
I think the response of making it clear that can never happen again but moving on is what feels right for us.
That sounds reasonable, OP.
