[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Whew, thanks everyone. I was worried this was the beginning of the manipulation of DD. No one sees it as that? If not, I won’t needlessly upset DH. Thank you![/quote]

Oh no, it is definitely the beginning of manipulation. I can't believe other people can't see that!! I would mention it to your DH, but do not involve your DD in that conversation.[/quote]

Absolutely this! And I agree that the MIL will feed off any drama it creates among the adults. She lit a little fuse by talking to the child and will only have achieved her goal if you let it blow up. Be as measured as possible with your daughter but do let her know that it is not the way parents typically talk about their children and that she can feel free to let grandma know that speaking badly about her father is upsetting to her. My MIL is always trying to snare me and the kids into complaining about other family members. I just starve it at the source and refuse to engage. It’s emotional immaturity plain and simple. Sorry OP![/quote]
