[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my MIL exactly. We have had the conversation with her over and over and over again about how she needs to respect our rules. Nope, never changes anything. Or it does for like a month before she reverts.

Definitely talk with your mom about how she needs to support you and your parenting decisions and how this was undermining you. I'm not certain it will change things, but nothing is going to change if you don't try.[/quote]

Repeat to yourself:  Grandparents are different from Parents.  Grandparents are different from Parents.  Grandparents are different from Parents....[/quote]

And that's totally fine, but grandparents ARE parents, and they need to be respectful of their own children's wishes. It's one thing to spoil your grandkids with gifts and sweets. It's another to explicitly break a rule that your own child said is important to her. This is just plain disrespectful of the parents.[/quote]

[b]IMO OP is mad at the wrong person.  The kid is the one who should get in trouble.  He knew what his punishment was and he violated it.  So I would double down on the kid and not say a word to Grandma.[/b][/quote]

This x1000.  That child would be in a lot of trouble with me.  Grandma would get a kiss and a thank you for helping me out.[/quote]
