Early stages of dementia?

Throws toys back at your DD? Hits back?

Your mother is the problem--and YOU are the problem in your daughter's case for not protecting her. Your mom should never be left alone with your DD.

Why are you so concerned for your mom's feelings versus your daughter's safety and well-being?[/quote]

Why am I concerned about my mom's feelings?  Because she's my mom.  And if I ever felt my daughter's safety and well-being was at stake, I would certainly do something about it.  Sheesh, you are totally blowing this way out of proportion - never did I feel like my daughter was "unsafe" with my mom.  My mom was playing around with her in her own way, albeit far from the best way.[/quote]

"Early stages of dementia" should have been enough to trigger you to stop having your mom babysit.

There are plenty of other good reasons, including your mother's feelings, come to that, though your mother's behavior is a far better reason.  And, yes, sometimes adults do need to apologize to children.  Adults should know better than to behave in certain ways, and your mother clearly doesn't.

I didn't say that you shouldn't care about your Mom's feelings, but your daughter's well-being is more important.  Somewhere in there your judgment is clouded.  Are you too afraid to deal with the logical consequences of your mother's health condition?  To realize what it means for your family?  Where's your mama bear on behalf of your DD?[/quote]
