[quote=Anonymous]I’m not a fan of this kind of “teasing” humor but the context probably matters.  If your kids are teens, that’s a big different from little kids who can’t understand that it was a joke.  It also depends whether your mom is generally in your side and your booster.  Like I can see something like kid complaining to grandma “mom can’t make me the Halloween costume I want of an obscure character from a marvel movie because she can’t sew and she won’t even try to  learn.”  Grandma “yeah, she’s pretty worthless.  I guess you’ll have to just fire her and hire a new mom before Halloween.”

I don’t think I’d be upset about something like that.  In fact, I’ve often told my kids that if they are unhappy with my performance as a mom, they are welcome to fire me and hire themselves someone more to their liking.  They haven’t taken me up on the offer yet.  I think they know their pay is not competitive with the market for the skills set they are seeking.

But if your mom is generally snide and Down talks you, that’s unacceptable and puts your kids in an awkward place.  Uncool.[/quote]
