So calling a new safe the "grand babies" safe gonna work?
Sort of. I have one, a girl too. I was fairly strict with my girls, but never missed an opportunity to spoil my granddaughter. There has only been two occasions when I had words with her, and both times she disrespected her parents right in front of me. With her dad it was words, but with her mom it was worse. I was talking with her mom when she tried interrupting us. Then she slapped her mom on the arm to get her attention. I walked over, bent down on a knee to get eyeball to eyeball and said, "You will never hit your mom again" in an even almost quiet tone. She broke into tears immediately and apologized to her mother and never did it again.
Have to share this. Anyone who has read my posts knows I taught my girls how to defend themselves, and she has three teachers. Recently, a girl much bigger than her grabbed her at school and lifted her off the ground....big mistake...huge....
Anyway, she told her mom, who insisted she was to tell her dad when he got home. She did, and then asked if she was going to be grounded for fighting....
He asked her, "Did you start the fight?" No
"Did she put hands on you?" Yes
"Did you defend yourself when you put her on the ground with one blow?" Yes
"Proud of you, and I will stand with you against anyone who has a problem with your actions"
