[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't start an IL beach thread but I commented on several. Ours was about as expected. DD (2yo) got HFM (not expected) and was grumpy and clingy for the second half of the trip. My MIL tried to win her affection by plying her with candy. DD told MIL multiple times in no uncertain terms, "I no want you, I want Mommy." When MIL ignored her and continued to shove candy and bribes in her face, DD told her "I no like you." I told DD "That's not nice, it hurts Grammy's feelings." MIL had an epic breakdown (seriously crying and screaming) that DD doesn't like her and DD and I were 'talking about her behind her back." 
Then FIL screamed at MIL for letting her self concept be ruled by a two year old. Then DH screamed at me and said I must've said 'something' to set off his mother (he later apologized). Then I tried to clear the air with MIL and she laughed it off saying it was no big deal...but refused to speak directly to me for the remaining two days.
My side of the family (who we also saw on the trip) was no picnic either. I decided next year we are going on vacation by ourselves, even if it means going somewhere other than the beach.[/quote]

Hmm, I wonder where your child would have gotten the idea that it's okay to treat her grandmother this way?[/quote]

2-year-olds are blunt  they also say 'i want daddy, not mommy' or whatever  and a sick 2 yo is going to be that much more uncensored.  Sounds like you haven't been around normal 2-year-olds.  [b]I seriously doubt the PP shouts in her MIL's face "I no like you!"[/b][/quote]

HAHA. I wish I could yell "I no like you!" into my MIL's face.  God I just snorted out loud at work just thinking about it...[/quote]
