Grandparents and Moms (parents) please help with this question!?

Question

My MIL keps our 2yr old 2 xs a wk for 4-5 hours.Yesterday she made a comment to DH who told me later. At 1st it ddn't bother me becz tht's her opinion, but then i found out she said it in front of dd an I was upset. It seems small an maybe it is, but i just asked if she would refrain from saying competitive things or the likes in front of my "repeating" dd. DD had pointed out the letter A on tv and my proud MIL said "I taught her that". DH said yeah an jus shared w/her the things i teach her. Well MIL then said "yes, Mommy an GrandMommy teach her things, but GrandMommy teachers her more things than Mommy". I felt if she believed that, that was her rite, but saying it in front of my dd i did not lik. So dh called to let her no and afta heated argument she finally admitted that she believes she does teach dd more than me (Im a preg SAHM and theres no way) an i said she could never teach her more than me. SHe said dont bring dd bak an hung up. Were we wrong?

Answer 11

why can't you people see the question?

No... I don't think you were wrong.  It is wrong to speak poorly of the parents in front of the children.  Children do not need to be persuaded to have an opinion.  Does it really matter who is teaching her more?  The majority of the learning will come from school.

Your MIL showed a lack of  respect for you, and a lack of respect for your daughter as you are her mother.

No matter what your MIL feels for you, this should NEVER be reflected on the child.

Answer 12

What question?

I'm sorry.  I'm having a hard time following your question because of the abbreviations that you used.  I'm not sure what "DD" and "DH" stand for.  I got the jist of it though.  My mother-in-law is the same way.  She's always talking about how SHE does things and SHE helps with things.  Sure, she does do some of those things, but she takes far more credit than she actually deserves.  I've learned to just let it roll off my back.  If she wants to think all of those things, then so be it.  Everyone else knows the real story and my children know that I'm their mother and I'm far more influential in their lives than their grandparents.  I've just learned to pick my battles.  Something as silly as this power struggle just isn't worth the time nor the energy if you ask me.
