[quote=Anonymous]I would tell my mother to stop calling my child names. Brat? Diva? No. Unacceptable. My mother is an adult and I expect her to behave maturely. Making passive-aggressive comments is completely unacceptable. Your kid is fine. Personally, I wouldn't have punished your DD at all for saying she didn't want someone who was mean to her to come with her to an activity at all. She was expressing a reasonable feeling. I would however, have spoken to her later to explain that in the future that's something she tells us privately rather than in front of the other person, to avoid making them feel badly. Your "punishment" was actually a reward to your DD because she said "I don't want this person around me" and your punishment was "Fine, then she's not coming with you to your thing." Your DD probably internalized that as, "Great! I got what I want!" But make no mistake - your DD is just fine. [/quote]
