[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Have a separate conversation where you ask her to stop, explaining that you don't buy a toy every time you go out, you don't intend to, and you don't appreciate her implying that you're a bad mother for not doing so. 2. If she continues to say this on the call, correct her in the moment. "Mom, I don't buy things for the kids every time we go out. They don't need that. You know that. Please stop or we'll have to talk another time." 3. If she still won't stop, limit the calls and tell her why. Don't hang up on an adult without explanation. Not only is that rude, it doesn't teach your kids anything. They don't know your reasoning so all they hear is Grandma asking about toys and you hanging up. You need to explain this isn't reality before you hang up, so the kids can hear it. [/quote] +1 to all of this. [/quote]
