[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well you’re her parents you’re supposed to be the  disciplinarian. And no one wants to hear your kids tantrums this includes relatives.[/quote]

Then please don't make us visit. Tantrums are part of toddler life. If we were home, firm and consistent, the tantrums wouldn't be happening. Lax grandparents mean more tantrums. [/quote]

OP here. Yep. DD rarely has tantrums when it's just us because we respect her sleep needs, keep her on a predictable schedule, and try to balance setting rules and giving her choices. The tantrums happen when they're around and she knows they'll give her whatever she wants.[/quote]
Aren't you just a peach? Mom of a 2 year old and so well versed in all the things kids. This is about control, your control, you not being able to say, "it is ok to do this once, because grandma and grandpa are here." If you are otherwise an ok parent couple of days of grandparents spoiling her will be good for her. As another pp posts(annoyingly) unclench.[/quote]
