[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is so depressing how many responses in this thread are saying "don't tell Grandma- it will bother her!", "don't tell Grandma because it's not your business - focus only on your own kids," "don't tell Grandma and just ban the kid from your house forever," "this is totally normal behavior - ignore it!" Paternalism, apathy, cruelty, selfishness. Makes me fear for the future of humanity.[/quote]

I feel exactly the same way.  It's sad that people fear the grandmother's reaction so much they wont tell her what went on in their house.  I would definitely want the heads up.  And even if you don't get the reaction you are expecting from the grandmother, you shouldn't be basing your actions all the time on what you think you know (think you know!!!) will happen next and screw you over.  Ugh...
Have a convo with your kids to help them not veer in this direction again, have brief convo with neighbor, move on. It shouldn't be this hard for people to just communicate with one another while we raise kids next to one another.  good grief. [/quote]
