[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should've quickly pulled out the paper you had brought and said, "Here Larlo, let's use the pencil on the paper." [/quote] This exactly. I agree that you needed to step in and stop them from writing on the table (WTF!!) but this would have been a better way. My MIL is pretty great but I accassionally have to remind some of the grandparents that I don't want my son to learn bad habits from them. In a SAHM and sometimes am so used to dealing with the preschooler and baby that I forget and talk to my husband the same way. The other day he had been in the bathroom for a while and out of habit I yelled thru the door 'that's enough, finish up and wash your hands!' That kind of thing happens more often than I'd like to admit, luckily my husband and I can laugh it off. Just try to remember that you're talking to another adult and frame things differently. [/quote] Hahaha, love it. Hilarious![/quote]
