Sometimes I think they are too hard on her though - I remember picking my battles with my daughter, I let some things slide because I just didn't want to fight that battle. My daughter and sil make my gdaughter tow the line and sometimes I feel sorry for her, but I can't say anything.

Anyway, she loves you, it will be OK and she will make up with you. It may take a little time, but she'll be OK (and so will you)!
I know what you mean! They let her and the other two get away with things I would never allow, and then yell at them for such nonsense!

It's so good to be the Grandma and not the Mom anymore!

Janet - that''s a good idea. I will think of a funny thing to do. Thanks friend!
