[QUOTE="HopeRemains, post: 533682, member: 14139"] Bunny- I don't think it's so much that she will fill his head in the way BM does, it's just her attitude towards us and some of the things she says are just so off the wall sometimes. It's more of an issue of her making him feel that we are "too hard" on him or giving him an already overinflated sense of "he is right, we are wrong". It may not be so bad when we are not there, because then she can't undermine us at every turn right in front of him. IE: We tell him to put the permanent marker away, Gma says "Oh, he's FINE. You guys need to ease up on him...", then 5 minutes later she's mad because he scribbled on her wall with it and we weren't "watching" him. Now I feel like I've made my bed, so now I have to lie in it, because husband will never admit that his Mom's remarks and attitude will effect difficult child. If I say something now, he will just feel like he helped out, but it's just not "good enough" for me. I'm trying to think outside of the box on this one now. Like maybe set up some play dates for him on Mondays, if I can. [/QUOTE]
