[quote=Anonymous]Mom is visiting from another country and is only here for 3 more days. I know I should keep my mouth shut but her constant beratement of my 3 yo is driving me crazy.
She raised us quite strictly and I don't remember being allowed to express ourselves, show much emotion etc. I am choosing not to raise my DD the same way.

She is well behaved for the most part, no issues at bedtime or with food, does as shes asked with minimal fussing, has nice manners ( says bless you when someones sneezes and things like that) but she is also at that stage where she says what shes thinking or how she feels and Mom things she is downright rude and badly behaved.
Examples, She is being too loud and Mom says shh so DD says " don't shh me" I tell her not to say that and its rude but Moms head is almost spinning in circles.
Yesterday I asked Mom to help her wash her hands and DD says " I can do it myself" and told my Mum to " get out" of the bathroom. Mum flips out and starts berating DD for being rude. 
I get that she was rude but I feel like Mum is constantly harping on the bad things she does rather than just enjoying her for the person she is. She doesnt see her very often and I feel that she is missing out on her Granddaughter because of this and its pissing me off.[/quote]
