[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what BIL did initially was fine. Then you escalated. Then they escalated. Why did you cry?![/quote]

OP here. I did not cry. My kids did.  What did I do to escalate?[/quote]

Not PP but you grabbed her and ran out of the room.  That would scare my kid.

You should have backed up your SIL and let the differences in your child-rearing go in that moment.  You were a guest in her home.  She did not deserve to be made to feel that she did something wrong.  [/quote]

I shouldn't have said I ran (I didn't; maybe it doesn't matter) but yes, I picked her up and removed her from the room. She was crying and my BIL was very angry, so it seemed best to remove her from the room. My SIL was not home at the time.[/quote]

Here's what you should have done: walked over while 4 yo is misbehaving. "Get down! We do not do that on other people's house!"  Remove her if necessary. [/quote]

OP here. Yes, I would have done something like this if I had realized in time what was happening.[/quote]
