Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
Our granddaughter, who is 5 years old, came up to her grandfather, who was seated at the dinner table, and told him, “Get up! You can’t sit there! That’s my chair!”
My husband later told me that because our son and DIL were witnesses, he had no desire to say anything. “She’s their daughter, and we have no say in how they choose to raise her.” This is usual for our granddaughter, who had earlier told me, “Be quiet! I want to talk now!”
