any tips? The problem is, in a sense, that they kind of have a point. She completely adores them but, I guess as a result, is sometimes a bit over excited about things they do. She does also crowd them a bit, hugging them when perhaps they don;t want to be hugged. dd1 is 10 - and trying to grow up - perhaps at an earlier age than we all did (so maybe granny doesn't realise) - and finds it all particularly annoying.
I've told them that whilst I can see it's a bit annoying, it's granny and it's because she loves them so much. and I've tried to say that indulging her would be very grown up of them.
Is there anything else I can/should do? It breaks my heart to see a distance growing between them - but, short of saying something to mum, I don't see what else I can do. If I did say something I'm sure it would hurt her - but she'd never let on. all tips gratefully recieved...
