Well we survived. His parents behaved for the most part. I completely understand the need that they have to spoil my children...I just wish it did not mean that they defy my authority as a parent. I say "no" and they say "yes, cuase i"m here." I am mostly speaking about my mother-in-law. She also did not rub hubbies "mistakes" as she calls

Both sets of grandparents did that with my kids and I never learned how to stop it. Of course, now I would just tell your Granny & my mom that the boys need consistency. If it's not okay with us any other day, it's not okay when grandparents are visiting. But look how long it took me to get the confidence to say something like that - over 20 years. The last thing your daughter needs is inconsistency. Your in-laws should understand that. As for how they treat your hubby, when you quit reacting to your parents, they quit criticizing you so much. It only took me 40 years to realize that.

Thank you. Unfortunatly She finds it nessacery to still criticize infront of others, her way I guess of asserting her authority and seeing how far she can push and get away with. Even my mom notices it and can't stand the person Hubbie becomes around her.
