[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sons told me last night that last summer, when I was on a work trip and my husband was working, my parents spanked them after they didn't eat their dinner. I am not surprised (my parents have a terrible temper and this is totally something they would do when frustrated). They told me that they didn't tell me that this happened because they knew I would not let them go to my parents' house unattended. My son said they "slapped him on his bottom real quick". We don't hit or spank. I brought it up with my dad and he admitted it but acted like it was "funny" and that I was "making everything a big deal". What would you do? I told my parents they can no longer be with the boys unattended if this is how they are going to act. For what it's worth, they are both mandated reporters. [/quote]

Free babysitting, you don't get to complain.  Also, my house and my rules.  Next time hire a babysitter and stop mooching off your parents.[/quote]

I’m not the OP but my parents practically beg to take the kids and are hurt and sad if we have other plans. Funny that you assume OP is mooching.

Bet the grandparents will feel anything but relief at never getting to watch the kids on their own again. There’s a reason grandpa’s trying to minimize it and joke about it. If he thought he was right, he would have doubled down.

OP, you already know the answer. They have a terrible temper, they spanked, and they’re not the least bit remorseful. Stand up for your kids and put your foot down. [/quote]
