[quote=Anonymous]I just wrote this in a comment in another forum, but my MIL drives me crazy with the way she tries to micro-manage my children. She treats them like they are puppets- "drink your juice now" to my 8 yo (does it matter if she drinks it at the beginning of the meal or the end or during? Who cares?), constantly prompting them to tell us things that they could share in their own time, etc. etc. It's like a constant micro-managing of their activities. Is this a teacher thing? Is this level of bossy-ness normal? I can't stand it. If nothing else, having the constant stream of narration of what they are about to do in 30 seconds on their own accord anyway drives me crazy. If we are together for a meal it's as if she feels she is in charge of telling everyone what to say when. She doesn't mean harm and it's not like she's telling them to do anything bad, but I feel like it undermines my kids' autonomy and ability to make their own decisions. [/quote]
