[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids do not need to be hugged every single time they fall down. Kids need to build resilience and coming to their rescue for a little fall... not a good plan.

So ...

Can you give another example of something she does?

I agree the Ivy degree probably is a detriment when it comes to EQ situations. Good for you seeking help in that area.[/quote]

DC has foam letters he plays with.  MIL asks him to give her the "H" and if he doesn't choose the "H" MIL tells him he isn't listening or paying attention.

It's not even things like no hugs I have a problem with - it is the assessing of blame.  [/quote]

You can NOT change your MIL. You can influence your child's development and protecting him from negative messages is not really teaching him.

Unless she is your child's primary caregiver you need to learn to deal with her comments.

If you put your H in a position to choose between you and his mother it will go badly.

You can quietly tell your child grandma is from a different generation and do thing differently.[/quote]
