I have to go back to work in a few weeks and DS (almost one) will be looked after by grandparents. Now that the time is getting closer I am getting more uncomfortable with the idea that their parenting may be different to mine. To give an example, if DS is doing something like fiddling with a plug socket I tell him 'no' and then distract him with something else. My mum repeatedly tells him no and then he cries. This happened earlier and I moved him to distract him and she told me not to pick him up! Needless to say I told her I was moving him to distract him but he is my bloody child! I don't want to feel that I am telling them what to do all the time but we clearly have different views.

It is hard handing them over but children do quickly learn that different places have different rules.
