Home Invasion: Day 2
Posted By jayna on May 17, 2008
Is it horrible that I felt sort of giddy inside when E burst into tears this afternoon after grandma scolded her more harshly than I do?
Poor kid was just checking out my shoes, indulging her shoe fetish, and she nearly jumped out of her skin when grandma screamed “No! Put that down! Bad!” She hightailed it over to me and was just sobbing. I’m standing there like, dude, a simple “No touch” would have been fine.
I had a velcro baby for the rest of the day. Apparently we’ve got a sensitive gal on our hands.
One more day of my house being taken over and slowly destroyed, and then 9 hours in a car on Sunday. Monday can’t come fast enough.
One of my pet peeves is when grandparents take over the punishment of my own children when I'm right there beside them.
At their house, I expect it. At my house, let me be the mom.
Or die.
Heh. My MIL wouldn't dare scold the kid since she knows my wrath is far worse than hers. You have got to step up the fear factory, wumman. Or, just enjoy the clingy. That works, too.
