[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When she is being bossy and screaming you give her choices?

If she is rude to grandma and doesn't want her there, you accept her rudeness and say then grandma won't come.

I think you need an objective opinion on how your daughter treats others.

Maybe she is quite bratty and maybe your mother is difficult.

Do you say no to your daughter or are in the positive praise only camp? Does your mother see you discipline your DD when she is acting inappropriately or are you disciplining her away from your mother so she doesn't judge? If so, it may seem to your mother like she gets away with everything.[/quote]

OP, something about your post gave me the sense that your daughter has behavior issues that are a drag for those around her who aren't her parents. Your mom is wrong for calling her names, but maybe she is right that your approach is too soft somehow?

Anyway, 3 can be really challenging. If you have a parenting book you like, share it with your mom so she understands what you're doing. But as far as being rude to grandma or any other adults? Nip that in the bud ASAP![/quote]
