..or would this piss you off too?
Backstory: My kids spend every summer in Florida ( I live in PA) with my in laws. I love my in laws and am very grateful for the time I get alone with hubby in the summer and also that my kids' summer is filled with sunshine, pooltime, Disney./bg
I call down there everyday to talk to the kids and see what they've been up to.Unfortunately, my daughter IS a drama queen. I fully admit this. However, I deal with it a certain way that prevents future tantrums and have shared this with my MIL. She refuses though, to discipline my kids in any way (verbally included) and will just call me and tell me how much my daughter has screamed today.
You know, Im not asking her to beat my kids. But if I tell you what works (noncorporal discipline) and you refuse to follow my advice with what I KNOW works with my kids....am i WRONG for NOT wanting to hear your bitching??
Ive had this same convo with her over and over again and all i get is "she was screaming over blahh and then blahh happened and she cried and etc". I ask "Well, what did you do?" And her response is usually "Nothing.". So honestly, I tune her out.
Am I just a heartless biatch? I just feel like I dont wanna hear about it if you're doing nothing to fix the issue.
