Nannys Little Monster; Everyone else's angel

Mo

I always complained about my Mother-In-Law and how she is with my son. She was so judgmental and told me that I shouldn't pick him up and just let him cry, yet if he made even a little fuss she would run over.

She drove me nuts for 2 years giving my son everything and waiting on him hand and foot, judging me when I said no to him, and then giving him whatever he wanted behind my back.

Tonight she finally realized what she created. My son now throws his garbage and dirty dishes on her floor and when told to pick it up yells No and says it's nanny and poppys job to pick it up.

In a span of 2 hours he asked for, and was served a plate of fries, a bowl of jello and ice cream, 4 slices of cheese, a paper towel filled with cheezies and grapes, a bowl of little marshmallows, and out of all of it, only ate the cheese.

He also had her serve him a juice box, a cup of apple juice, a cup of milk, a cup tea, and a water bottle, all within 20 minutes.

If she doesnt get him what he wants as soon as he asks for it he goes in full on meltdown mode with hitting, and I cant help but giggle a little. I do try to step in and be strict when it comes to all this (especially the garbage) and she yells at me 🤷‍♀️

*disclaimer: at home I refuse to give him snacks until meals are done and if he has another snack open, he must finish it first.

He gets one watered down cup of juice every other day or two at home, and he is told to put his garbage away and dishes in the sink. If he acts out and hits he is placed in his room for a time out.

Hes a little angel at Daycare I've been told so, I'll just let her keep making her own bed and sleep in it for now.
