[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few things:
1) Since she isn't a FTM, she's probably a bit more used to correcting other people's children.  Less tip-toe-ing.
2) If you have a high energy child, she might correct a little sooner than she would with another child, before things get out of hand and harder to correct.

I will admit, I know I have a shorter fuse with a couple kids among our friends, and it's precisely because of #2.  I'm much more likely to give them a hard no about something earlier, because I know how hard they will resist it.  And I might be stricter about certain activities that are more likely to lead to disaster with a kid who is generally more in control of themselves.[/quote]
This.  She's got three kids.  She's not going to hold back on correcting your kid.  It's not even just the FTM thing--parents with older kids are, IME, generally much quicker to correct other people's kids in these kind of situations (especially in their own home).

Also, OP has not returned to articulate what this mom is doing to suggest that she doesn't like OP's kid.  She might be correcting the kid more often because the kid requires more correction, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like the kid. [/quote]
