[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Empower her to say (if not in your presence): “My parents have taught me to tell a bully to stop it, so I am telling you to stop it now.” In your presence: “That’s it for today, Barbara, we don’t allow people to bully our children. When you can keep your negative opinions and unsolicited advice to yourself, we can try again for a visit.” I would go nuclear over this. Your daughter will never forget this treatment and will never forget that her parents allowed it if that is what you continue to do.[/quote] What? No! That’s way too dramatic and not likely to lead to less upset and stress for op’s daughter. There are like 9 steps of direct communication w grandma before it would be appropriate escalate like this.
