[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the point of this post? Do you want us to tell you that you are a great parent and you MIL sucks? You know the answer to your post. Continue to parent your kids as you would like to parent them. If you want to avoid conflict then tell your kids to say yes ma'am and yes sir to their grandparents.[/quote]

This. Really, trying to stir the pot over yes ma'am and no ma'am?? Do you hear yourself???? Frankly there isn't enough of this being taught in the world! If you do t want them to say it at home, fine. But they should respect their grandparents. You act like they're teaching them the F word!!! [/quote]

It seems like the kids ARE respecting their grandparents.  They just aren't being cold and detached children from 1900 like their grandparents want.  It really boils down to the grandparents not respecting the parenting of OP and her husband.  Why should you bend to anyone who tells you how to parent your children when you aren't doing anything wrong?  There are a lot of times where you do need to suck it up to keep the peace but this is too far.[/quote]

Oh please. No one said they should be "cold and detached children from 1900." It's clear from the tone of the original post that OP simply doesn't like her in-laws (actually I detect a hint of OP feeling inadequate and this being her way of asserting power and control over the ILs) and wants to "win" something against them. I don't feel sorry for OP and think she is being ridiculous. [/quote]

I also don't feel sorry for OP (sorry for saying this OP) because it doesn't seem like she has a spine because she let this go on so long but I don't think it is being ridiculous. [/quote]
