[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not hard. My son was refusing to do something and giving her a hard time. She essentially spanked him on his leg. He didn't even cry- just yelled out "Ow! Don't hit me, Grammy!". I ran in from the other room and she admitted it right away. She said that she was really frustrated and apologized to both my son and me. I am SO angry but my husband is shrugging it off. He thinks I am being dramatic. I don't want her to babysit anymore. WWYD?[/quote]

Oh hell no. What would have happened if you weren't right there in the other room? Would she have apologized to your son? Would she have told you about it and apologized to you later? Would she have called you and said "I'm so frustrated I can't handle your son. I need you to come home right now." Would it have escalated/would she have hit him harder or more aggressively if you weren't there?

[b]Essentially, I'm wondering if she hit him with you right there within earshot (likely knowing full well this is not OK with you), what would she possibly do when you and your DH are not there? [/b]

No, she would not be babysitting for my kid(s) again at all nor would I leave my kids alone w/ her ever. I'm not kidding. That is f'ed up. And your DH sucks for not also being upset about this and not backing you up.

I agree with the bolded.

Shocking what some parents will allow to happen to their children just for free babysitting. [/quote]
