Dad shouting at DD 2yo

[Jadey31]

Am I being too sensitive?

DH, DD (2yo) and I went to be parents house for Boxing Day along with my brother who lives with them.

Whilst we were there my daughter was jumping on the sofa. Not bouncing like a trampoline but she was stood up on the sofa watching tv more really.

I suppose I should of said something to DD however she's done it lots of times before and no one mentioned it to her. My dad really shouted at her to get off the sofa and it shocked my DD. I felt quite angry that he just thought it was ok to talk to her like that!

Last night my DH and brother were in conversation and my brother mentioned that situation with the sofa and that we don't discipline our DD enough! Clearly my parents had been talking for him to bring it up. My DH said back to him that we don't really like shouting at her unless necessary. If we'd asked her multiple times and she didn't listen we'd get it. We've found that ignoring her gets a better response than shouting at her as she just does it more.

Do I confront my parents?? I'm really mad and the more I think about it I'm getting more worked up.

Personally I would have never let my DC do that. It's fine if you allow her on your sofa but it's not really polite to let her do it at other people's houses.

Your DF shouldn't have shouted but you shouldn't have let her do it.

Perhaps you owe your DPs an apology.

@PritiPatelsMaker she's done this previously there and my mum said she's ok doing it sorry I should of mentioned that part. I'm confused why this time was any different.

Your DM could have said that for a multitude of reasons.

I think you have to accept the fact that its obviously been bothering them and you need to apologise.
