Grandma worries

I've just joined because I thought being a grandma was going to be the easy bit. Was I wrong I need to talk to someone about a serious worry that my daughter is making life very hard for herself later down the line. Yes the old discipline problems. I can't talk to anyone I know for fear of being disloyal to my daughter and I'm afraid to bring it up with her because she already thinks everyone is judging her. What do I do?

Ok, I'm a grandmother too - what's the problem?

Thank you for answering I'm still trying to find my way around.
Before she was pregnant and worried stiff about being a good mum the bit of advice I gave her about discipline is, she sets her boundaries and then has to be consistant. She saw the sense then but of course ppractice is more difficult. He's 10 months old and understands "no", and tests it. She just gives in. I know she's exhausted, grandson doesn't seem to need sleep, but he cries now if he doesn't get his own way, and is getting clingy with her because Dad does stick to his guns. I'm worried that if he doesn't learn soon she is going to be having harder and harder battles all her life. How can I help?
