My DD is 3. She will regularly tell tales on people. 'Brother did x' 'mummy did y' today she came in and told me something my sister had done. My mum starts calling her a snitch, saying we will have problems when she starts school, she'll be a right snitch. It's really made me mad. She said all this in front of my dd too, Who was then shouting I'm not a snitch (although I don't think she knows what it means). I told my mum that I didn't want her to call her that, especially not in front of her. She said fine but I could tell she didn't really see the problem.
Am I over reacting that my mum said this? And will her habit of telling tales get her in trouble at school? I don't really see the problem as she's only 3 and tend to ignore most of the tales she tells unless it's pretty serious but now I'm not sure.
