Eglantine is right, I corrected things my mum got so wrong, and my kids am sure do the same. My daughter always welcomes my input, but I will intervene as little as poss. With DIL I will say, “ please done speak to Mummy like that as it upsets Nanny to hear it”. She is happy with that and puts a thumb up to me so the boys can’t see. A friend of mine just used to put her coat on, and when the kids asked where she was going, she would say “back home as Nanny gets upset with bad behaviour “ .... the kids then begged her to stay and they would be good ! Worked every time and that way the parents don’t feel undermined.
