Mad Cat Woman
My sister in law believed in 'Gentle Parenting' Her two were the littliest shits you've ever met. No manners, and would try to destroy everything in sight.Grandsons 5 , the 'parents' choose to gentle parenthood' the child, I'm litterally tearing my hair out by the time they leave, climbing furniture, trying to pull down blinds, teasing the cat, walking round with food & drink...tell me I'm not the only person?
I feel like a really bad nan. BUT, there seem to be NO rules.
Mine on the other hand, had a wallop when needed (only when needed mind) and we could take them anywhere and they'd behave, please, thank you etc etc. Unless it was shopping in Iceland, when the eldest two would break dance in the entrance bit. No idea why, they just did it everytime.
Did he ever do it again?
I once smacked my nephew as he belted my mum in the face. She'd been telling me he'd done it often ,so I gave him a quick slap when he did it while I was there (my brother & sister in law laughed at the time he did it) and all hell broke loose .I was the evil one, even mum , who'd been moaning turned on me!
The sister in laws big threat, was that her little shits would be sent to mine for a fortnight, she always reckoned if I couldn't sort them out, no-one could. Thank fark they never did.
