[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get the problem.  So she quit mid game.  There is no reason why everyone else can't keep playing.  Model the behavior you want to see.  Don't react, just keep going.  If you're allowing this to get under your skin and you're showing it to your kids then you're the problem for your kids not your MIL.  [b]Model to your kids that you can't control other people, you can only control yourself.[/b][/quote]

??What?? Now I’ve heard it all. So, now OP is supposed to pretend that she didn’t watch a grown adult throw a tantrum in her house?

I would tell my kids no games when grandma’s around. Puzzles or a movie night.

I do wonder if grandma is just generally grumpy? Is she the type to complain about the puzzle you chose or make negative comments about the movie? Is she just not a very pleasant person?

[/quote]You're making stuff up.  The MIL didn't throw a tantrum.  She quit the game.  Why on earth would you be hyperbolic about something that is easily proven.  Go back and read OP's post.  RIF.[/quote]
