WHY????????????????????-edit

My DIL and my son were here for supper. So was my other son and her parents. I mentioned to her that one of the children forgot their candy here from the holidays. She said it didn’t matter she threw the rest out. Why would she do that? Couldn’t she have given it to them slowly???????? Is she doing it to hurt me? I know that candy is not the best thing for them but once in awhile or when I give some to them. I haven’t seen them all summer. I didn’t give them anything. I am so FED UP! I can’t wait to see the psychologist and discuss these issues.
I think I will leave for Florida on November 1st. I will only get more aggravation if I stay here.
However I will not make reservations until I get feedback from my psychologist. It is so difficult for me NOT to say anything.
Tonight she talked about helping her son with his homework. So she helped him in math. He had the answer right but she thought it was wrong so she made him change it. She was wrong!!!!!!!! My son asked her why she doesn’t let him do his homework alone?????????
Right now I am so upset with her and my son. I think my daughter was right when she said I have to talk to both of them.
I want to take my grandson on Thursday. My instinct is to call his mother to see if I can make arrangements directly with her.
How will I ever wait for Tuesday? It is so difficult!!!
More later. My son is here.

have you asked her why? hugs p

I think you need to stay out of the little things. And it’s all small stuff except for the issue of abuse. You probably didn’t like your MIL or mother getting involved with your decisions on raising kids. I’m sure it’s complicated enough with the step-mother now. What good can you do the situation?

That was extremely rude of her to tell you she threw out the candy. If she doesn’t want you to give your grandson candy then the mature thing for her to do is to tell you upfront in a nice way, hey we didn’t want the kids having too much candy, hope you don’t mind. She sounds like a control freak.

think talking to your psychologist is a good way to go and see what they have to say….she did not have to tell you she threw it away, but she could have asked nicely that you do not give them anymore….my dil had some funny ideas on raising our grandsons, but she has changed a bit over the years, you basically have to live with their rules if you want to get along with them…huggs
