[quote=Anonymous]Are they really "seething" at the behavior or are they just annoyed by your kids antics? Doesn't sound like you are particularly pleased with the behavior in question either so I'm not sure why you are expecting the in laws to be happy with it. They didn't intervene or tell you that you were doing it all wrong, they just didn't enjoy the behavior your child was displaying. I don't enjoy listening to little ones throw tantrums and scream and I think everyone finds those experiences unpleasant, even though they are totally normal and to be expected. My lack of enjoyment at witnessing a tantrum doesn't mean I think their parents are doing anything wrong or that the kid is a brat, it's just not a fun thing to be around. Should I instead smile and say "This is the best thing ever!" every time it happens?[/quote]
