Had dstepsis (who I haven't seen for ages as we live abroad) over for food and catch-up on the weekend, she came with her 7yo dd.
Apparently dd very fussy about food, we brought some stuff in we knew she would like but not a big deal.
Dd politely refused snacks, fine. Friend however flipped out slightly and said how ashamed and embarrassed they were, dd does this everywhere they go, and started shouting at dd. She is a good mum and very loving. But this all prompted dd to burst into tears and made for quite an awkward atmosphere.
Aibu to think that she should tackle these issues in private? Especially because dd was behaving, why make a scene? I felt a bit like it was due to dss's embarrassment... She was trying to prove that she was strict and not a walkover. But it really didn't bother me and I felt it was a bit harsh to single dd out like that and punish her in front of the family...
