Grandmother Says She Was 'Just Teasing' After Pinching Girl Hard and Doesn't Get Why Parent Freaks Out
Plenty of parents don't see eye to eye with grandparents when it comes to the best ways to connect with kids. And a grandparent's behavior with a grandkid can easily trigger a parent who recalls what it was like to have to deal with that behavior as a child. That was the case for a Redditor who took to the Parenting subreddit to share the details of a troubling. The original poster wanted validation or perspective from the community.
"I heard my mom say say in a sneaky kind of teasing voice, 'Do you want a massage?'" wrote the OP."She then pinched my daughter pretty hard on the neck/shoulder area. My daughter yelled and crumpled and my mom laughed.""I immediately had an adrenaline rage rush," wrote the OP."After a deep breath, I hugged my daughter and told her grandma was being mean and should apologize because we don't play that way.
Redditors jumped in to reassure the OP that she was right to make this call with her mom -- for a variety of reasons. Another pointed out that kids learn how to behave from the adults in their life."I try to remember that kids learn how to behave and treat others by watching us," they noted."Do you , want to watch your daughter happily playing with kids at the playground and then see her suddenly pinch one and laugh when that child cries? No, of course not. You would tell her to apologize and possibly make her leave the playground that day.
