[quote=Anonymous]She sounds very toxic. I would not allow her to talk to my kids like that. I would be annoyed if she said anything at all to my kid about his table manners at this birthday dinner but if she was polite and kind about it "{son's name} please close your mouth when you're chewing." and left it at that, fine. Still annoying. It is his bday dinner and he's a young child. But if she actually yelled at him, said anything in a mean way, or went on and on lecturing him about it, I'd step in and say "{MIL's name} please stop. We do teach table manners but {lecturing him, raising your voice, speaking to him that way} is not appropriate or necessary."

At the kinder awards ceremony, I'd also step in and ask her if she can say something to build your son up and make him feel proud of his achievements instead of going on and on about other kids.

It sounds like she doesn't even fully realize how her behavior affects others (and/or maybe she doesn't care). But it seems like no one in your family ever stands up to her when she is bullying others.[/quote]
