"daddy doesn't like grandma"

[perfectlybroken]

Said to me by 4 year old ds, strongly denied by dh! Can't decide whether dh has been saying things he shouldn't or not. He's always nice to my mum, but I suspect he tolerates her more than anything (she's lovely btw). Ds does have a habit of saying things which are not true, I don't think he means to lie, I think its his way of processing different things which he hears and sees and gets a bit confused with.
What do you think?

I think you have to let this one go TBH. Worst case scenario, DH did say something in passing, but he knows now that DS is old enough to repeat it back to someone else, so he won't do it again.

Yeah that's true, I suppose that will be that lesson learnt.

I need to learn the lesson too though , as DS is also 4 and is apparently listening even when I think he isn't!

It could be that your ds has picked up something without your dh saying anything.

That's ninety, in which case he needs to get better at hiding his feelings!

That's TRUE, that should have said.

Even IF this is true it might not be that DH has said something, it might be that DS has just picked up on a bad vibe ? Children can be quite intuitive and a lot more perceptive than we often give credit for.

As long as DH is polite and pleasant to your mum I don't think there is much you can do anyway. If he doesn't like her he doesn't like her... as long as he behaves like a civilized adult.

Maybe it was something Grandma said?
