I'm a single mum to a gorgeous 21 month old ds. I've been bubbling with mum who's on her own too.
My ds is a good boy, he has his moments with his behaviour & has tantrums & can be defiant like any other toddler.
I do discipline him for his naughty behaviour & he's put in time outs when needed.
However, whenever are with my mum she's constantly criticizing my parenting. When my ds does have a tantrum or is defiant she keeps on at me to smack him.
I don't smack him, never had, never will. When I tell her this she says I'm making a rod off my own back (her words) & that I was smacked & it didn't do me any harm.
We keep getting in to big arguments over it.
I don't know how to handle it.
Some advice would be greatly appreciated please!
