Is it acceptable for a *nine*-year-old boy to tell his Grandmother to "shut up".?

Question

This happened the other day and my daughter-in-law refuses to discipline him for it because she says that he "didn't really mean it".

I had him here last night with his brothers as usual and said nothing but I still expect an apology after his *Mother* has had a word with him.

My son is working away so I don't want to bother him.

If any of my boys had spoken to an adult like that they wouldn't have been sitting down comfortably for a week but I suppose that "modern" ways are so much better - aren't they?

Answer 1

No, absoluetly not. You need to respect your elders, especially you grandparents. Whoever was with that boy should've taught him a lesson. Blistered bottom.

Answer 2

show a little respect for seniority, they definitely earned it!!
