Would this annoy you? MiL post…

[Notsuredontknow]

Last couple of times we’ve seen her with our DCs she has made the following comments to my 23m old DS: “DS, say sorry. Say sorry to grandma” (after he spilt a bit of water on her floor). He says sorry, she says “good boy”. And today: “DS, say thank you for these Xmas presents. Come on, say thank you.” He does, she nods and tells him he’s a good boy. This really annoys me, firstly because I don’t think it’s her place to do it when DH and I are sitting right there (and we are very on top of teaching good manners) and secondly because he’s not even two! Would this annoy anyone else?!

I feel like she's being a bit pushy, yes.
Also, I'm not sure a 2 year old needs to apologise for spilling water as it was more than likely an accident? Who does she think he's directing thst apology to exactly?

Yawn. Another MIL can't do anything right post.

Got news for you OP. One day you may well be a MIL yourself. Will you like if it your DIL/ SIL is griping about every tiny little thing?

In this case she seems to be overstepping though, I'd say.

@Perhapsanorhertimewouldbebetter
I wonder if the OP polices everything her own mother (if in their lives) says?

A simple "oh I'm sure Granny doesn't mean to be unkind DS." Would be a lot more use than griping online tbh.

No idea, but I'd say this same thing if it were her parent and not PIL.
