Your mother does sound quite strict. I don't blame her, but you're right that this is spoiling the little time she has with her. What would happen if you told her:
"Mom, you hardly ever see your granddaughter. Instead of getting upset every time DD says what she thinks, why don't you focus on enjoying your time with her?"

[/quote]

I would say something like this, and if she keeps bringing it  up change the subject.

But I do have to agree with the others that you need to toughen up with your DD, yes her behavior is typical for a 3 year old, but  the things you described don't magically disappear at 4 without parental instruction. You want to deal with this now because it will become harder when she's older. Firm boundaries and  manners are good for your daughter.
This does not make you a bad mom or mean that you need to be harsh with your daughter.
I also think you should consider therapy for yourself so you can heal the wounds from your childhood.[/quote]
