OK, so we have just been camping for the weekend, and I could quite easily have slapped my Auntie round the face! She feels the need to constantly comment on my parenting, and nothing I do is ever 'right'. She has called my 4 year old moody, and said that I spoil him because I won't make him talk to her (not sure how you force a 4 year old to talk???). He is quite sensitive anyway, yet she thinks she can tease him as much as she likes, then when he gets upset tells me I should teach him to 'grow up' and that I baby him.
She has a 15 year old foster son( her ex's, who moved in with her at 4, his Dad moved out when he was 8). He was picking on my step sister, so we were teasing him saying that he must fancy her, when my Auntie found out she had a go at me for teasing him, apparantly I'm not allowed because he gets upset (he has aspergers)
It seems like because my son doesn't have a 'label' (sorry to anyone whos child has SN, don't mean to sound rude) that he has to sit back and take whatever is said to him.
Then both my boys have longish hair, (below their ears). DS1 (4) wants long hair, and DS2 (2 1/2) hates having his hair cut, and screams and won't keep his head still. My Auntie was saying things like "Who's in charge you or them? If you want them to have it cut then they should bloody well do as they are told" When I told her that DS2 won't sit still she told me I should hold his head still and force him too!
AIBU?????
