How old is your son? What was he doing/not doing? What does "hard time" mean?

If we are talking about an 8 year-old who is refusing to stop smacking a toy on grandma's head because he thinks it's funny to annoy her, then grandma was perfectly within her rights to swat him.

Why are you here if you can't read what happened?

I think older people forget and have unrealistic expectations on little kids.  My mom was watching my kids when they were little and for some reason she wanted them to get dressed and do something on her time schedule even though they were perfectly happy playing together and there was no urgency as they weren't going anywhere.  As soon as I got home she yelled at me how "bad" they were but, honestly if she wasn't so anxious and viewed it differently ( having a relaxing moment vs a defiant moment) it could have been a happy memory!

So I get it.  I would have limited contact with the grandmother and not let her watch him alone until he is older.  Sometimes kids are feeling stressed and they act out by not wanting to put their shoes on.  And then you get immature adults who grew up in a time that kids were not allowed to express their feelings and the two collide.  It does not make your kid a brat![/quote]
