[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 571380"] You probably aren't going to like hearing this. I don't mean to offend you in any way but rather to offer a different perspective. They are her grandparents, not her parents. The shoes were a present she SHOULD have gotten at Christmas but she couldn't because they weren't there yet and it is only fair that she still receive them when they arrive regardless of the current circumstances. It was simply a fluke of timing. I fully agree with them on that one. As for the "joking" about the incident, well, they aren't her parents and it's not their job to come down on her. My mom acts toward my kids the way you want your parents to act with your difficult child and I can tell you, I quit talking to her for a long time. I mean I totally cut off all contact. It wasn't her job to disciplone my kids or even voice her negative opinions and my kids got to the point that they hated her because she was always throwing their mistakes back at them. It made them feel even more horrible than the punishment I had already doled out. Grandparents are supposed to accept their grandchildren no matter what. My grandmother may have been disappointed in me but I never knew it because she NEVER said anything to me. I LOVED my grandma and wish every day that my mother could be like her in regards to the grandkids. I wish my kids had grandparents like your difficult child does. Let your parents be her grandparents and you do the parenting. [/QUOTE]
