I am a grandma and I love my grandma nights.

But, I have to honor the fact that my daughter is the parent and she makes the decisions regarding her children. If the child is misbehaving and the parents feel that the reward of a grandma night is not in the picture, then so be it. We'll have a grandma night on another night.

My children used to do this to me. I finally told them to please stop using my time w my grandkids to punish them. They are also punishing me. I think you should do what you feel best, of course. Just giving a diff perspective. My relationship w my grandkids is special. I have given them plenty of talking to's and plenty of time outs. I support my children even when I have to bite my tongue. But not in this way. I don't indulge the grandkids and would expect my grandchild to be respnsible for her actions. And to pay for that perhaps in some other way. But not by using our time together to do it. Hope you are all understanding if my perspective. I have learned a lot from you ladies! I realize I am the dissenting opinion here...yikes! But I had to say it

I am a grandmother also. Though I disagree with you, it was great to read a different perspective. My granddaughter was so disappointed in not seeing her Great Grandmother she got her behavior together.

You shouldn't feel bad, she did something that she wasn't supposed to do and she has to pay the consequences. Going to grandma's house is a privilege. Personally, I think your mom is trying to guilt you because she feels like she is being punished too (especially if she loves having her over), but you have to stand your ground.

Quick update:

My dd was really great yesterday and slept like a champ right when we put her to sleep. My mom picked her up about 2 hours ago and so far has fed her "lunch" (which apparently was ice cream ). I'm happy that she learned her lesson AND didn't get spoiled for acting poorly. Plus, she was well rested this morning and in a great mood! My dh even got a lovely early valentine card from her this morning.

Yes! Especially her! She has been a LOT of work starting around 8 months old and she has come a LOOOONG way already. I think everyone should have a child like her to humble them ::::.
