[quote=Anonymous]My mom watched my 2 kids for a week at her place (different state) last week. This was the second summer that she watched them for a week, but this time she also had my niece and nephew there. The two older ones are teens and more or less watched themselves. My mom said she was really stressed out because my 6 year old was not playing nice with my 7 year old niece. She mentioned that when she asked my daughter if she wanted to be separated from my niece my daughter said yes. This really upset my mom because the girls rarely ever get to see each other. She said that my daughter never seemed remorseful for getting into trouble because she didn’t cry when she got yelled at like my niece did. My mom said she couldn’t wait for me to pick them up on Saturday. (kind of hurt my feelings) My mom has always said mean things out of anger and she's always angry. In this same trip my dad smacked my niece for not talking nicely to him. (I know this because he told me about it)

My mom tells me that my 6 yr old lied to her about throwing away her waffle. She said she had just put a new garbage bag in the can and when she looked in there again there was a waffle in the bag. (My daughter was the only one that had a waffle that day.) She said she asked my daughter twice if it was hers and she kept saying no. My mom tells me she had a long talk with my daughter. That’s all she told me about the situation.

After hearing this I go to talk to my daughter. I want to make sure she knows she cannot lie to her grandma and about being nicer to her cousin. My daughter then tells me that grandma made her eat the waffle out of the garbage can.

My mom never mentioned this to me. When I texted her about it she didn’t come right out and answer it. At first, she kind of made me think that my kid was lying again. We go back and forth a few times then she said that no my kid is not lying that she did make her eat it out of the garbage telling me again that it was the only thing in the bag.

How would you feel about this?
