[quote=Anonymous]Backstory: We had been having some behavior issues with DS whenever it was time to get off the tablet, so we took the tablet away as a punishment. Over the weekend my mom offered to watch DS for the day so DH and I could have a day alone. We made it a point to tell her that he was grounded from electronics, explaining why, but mentioned he was allowed to watch a movie on the TV if she needed a break. At some point, she allowed him to play on her phone, because he let it slip that he played a game on the phone. We have dealt with DS, who is plenty old enough to know he shouldn’t have been playing on the phone. But what, if anything, should I do about my mom? For reference, she is the type to slyly pull one over and then play stupid, so I almost feel like she knew exactly what she was doing and wanted to be the Good Guy to DS. She’s also tech savvy and knows that phones fall under “electronics”, and I don’t think she was confused when I told her ‘no electronics’. It’s not the first time she’s pulled something like this. Should I be firm with her about this or leave it alone? [/quote]
