I am having a problem with a situation and could use some advice.
Let me explain the situation...My mother has been inviting my 7 year old to go places with her on school nights and she does this without talking to me first. So I have to be the bad guy and tell my daughter no not on school nights. Well, there are times that I have let her go because grandma promises to have her home by 7:00 so she can get ready for bed. Now it has gotten to the point where she has started coming home later and later. Then my husband and I have to put up with getting a cranky child ready in the mornings. I have tried to ask mom not to ask my daughter to go places with her before she checks with me first. Of course she gets upset and tells me that she is just trying to be nice and give my husband and I some alone time and also she gets to spend time with her granddaughter. So, what I'm asking is..What's a nice way to tell her that this has to stop??? I will consider all advice that comes along. Thanks!!
