[quote=Anonymous]OMG my mom would definitely be like yours in the Starbucks situation. Story of my life. And she's like this to my 11 year old. It's hard. I am direct with her when I'm around, and my son is like your daughter in that he laughs about it. But He (we) can be pretty snarky with her which offends her. A few months ago DS had an overnight visit to their house. Before, I had a conversation with him about how she's old and loves him and in fact has told me he is a good kid. Therefore we should both try to curb our snarky responses to Grandma's ridiculousness. I told him to be kind and direct if necessary ("grandma, I know what I like and don't want to waste money again on a drink I don't want." REPEAT. It's a lesson I had to figure out for myself but even at just 11, DS is doing really well with being direct but not constantly rolling his eyes or being jerky. [/quote]
