I am have just been over to my mum and dad's for lunch. My two judgmental aunts were there (they put mumsnet to shame!)
My ds (3.11) is out in the garden and was with my mum. I was with my dd and suddenly heard ds crying. My two judgemental aunts said 'oh just leave him!' 'charming' I thought!
I went to see if he was ok and found him sobbing his heart out saying my mum had smacked his bottom.
I asked mum who denied it at first and then said he had been taking the flower heads off her plants, so she smacked him.
I realise it was wrong of ds to do what he did, but I was absolutely fuming that she thought it was ok to take matters into her own hands and smack my ds. I do not agree with smacking and have made this clear to her on several occasions.
I feel so sad and upset about it and left their house in a huff, dragging my dc's crying with me. I am not sure if AIBU? It was just a smack, but it's the principle that I can't trust her now with ds when I am not about.

AIBU?
AIBU to have gone home in a huff!
