We are all going on holiday next week (grandparents, us, brother, wife etc). We had a day out last weekend in the same group. They are lovely and we have a great time but...........DS1 (4 years) is generally a good boy but can be silly and naughty at times. They all seem to think i'm too strict with him but thats another issue.
I mentioned that when we are away it would be helpful if they could not echo everything I say to him when disciplining him. I added I had no problem with them telling him off if they notice something etc but if I am already dealing with it to leave me to it (they seriously just repeat what i'm saying). I put it better than that but that is the general gist of it. My reasoning is that it just adds to the attention (which he loves), stresses me out and causes the situation to escalate.
I get the impression they were put out by it, was I unreasonable?
