Hiya

My grandson is a gorgeous 6 month old but I really don't like modelling for babies. My daughter in law seems to think it's a great idea but since hearing about it I'm really not keen. My son doesn't really like it either but wouldn't dare upset her HmmHmm he did 2 jobs so far and they don't sound enjoyable for him at all!!

Would it be wrong of me to help my son talk to her about it?

Wouldn't dare argue, I know my place !!!

Quite frankly op you seem to have raised a wimp who's tied to his mother's apron strings and unable to have a conversation with his wife so runs to mummy telling tales instead. Perhaps this doesn't qualify you to provide parenting advice? If you'd done a better job of parenting yourself you wouldn't have this dilemma

I have a feeling the OP has flounced off...and probably to go interfere in what's none of her business.

Please don’t interfere. You’ll just build up resentment. You can ask questions about what it involves etc but (a) don’t gang up on your daughter in law and (b) don’t expect that she is going to hang onto ever word of your advice because you had a child a few decades ago. My parents have the perfect connotation of offering support but not interfering. It means they are easy to get on with and there is no conflict or resentment.
