I can really relate! My experience with the grandmother was so bad that it caused me my job after 3 years. Grandma was there every morning and every evening. Evening was okay because I would just leave, after she questioned the children's every move for a 10 hour day. I became hostile and indifferent when in the a.m. I was told how to handle the dishwasher, naps, lunches, children's preferences, complaints about everything from too many snacks, to not enough snacks, hurting children's feelings because I didn't speak to them with enough "respect" and courtesy, what they wore and what they didn't wear and the list goes on and on, every day the same scene. After three years of being patient, fighting back words and tears, I told her off, big time, and was let go. Oh well, I have a much better position now, so maybe it was meant to be.
