I'm finding my mother quite difficult, as she always has to be in charge.
This includes being in charge of my children, even when I'm there, and will discipline them, when I think she should stand back, be the Granny and let me deal with things.
I have avoided days out with her all summer, as I just find it all too stressful.
The situation isn't helped by the fact that she obviously favours DS2. My sister has talked to her about this, and my mother does try to be fair, but she is just so much softer when diciplining DS2, than she is with DS1 and DD.
How do I subtly get through to her I am the parent, and she is the Grannny. She's been the same with all her daughters children.
