[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIL lives nearby and sees the grandkids every few days. Whenever she is here and my kids are doing something they shouldn't or ask for something they can't have and I say no, she says "No, Larla, mommy said you can't." It drives me nuts. It's like she's comiserating with them and making me the bad cop. I think she thinks she's helping, but it makes me crazy. For example, if she's playing with them and letting them jump all over the couch and I come in and tell them not to, she'll say "ok guys, no more jumping. Mommy said you can't jump on the couch." Or if I'm making dinner and they start asking her for cookies and I say no, she'll say "sorry guys, mommy said you can't have cookies." Why does it have to always be "mommy said"? She can't just say "no kids, don't run with scissors" or "we can't color on the walls" instead of "mommy said you can't color on the walls". Vent over. [/quote] My husband to a T.[/quote]
