Don't even mention it.

Not your child, not your monkeys

This is their child and they should be left to bring her up in their own way. As long as she is healthy and happy don't interfere.

Hello,

I'll start this by saying my DS and DiL are both amazing parents and are very loving. Academically she's great for her age and is a very polite little girl.

The problem I have and don't know how to/if I should raise is they're almost too protective and give her all she wants. She turned 3 in June and still isn't potty trained (not helped that in the 3yo check up the Dr said it wasn't a problem until 4) They also give her a dummy whenever she wants and she looks far too old to have one.

I look after GD 2 days a week to help with childcare costs and want to help with these but they don't want me to do them.

Has anyone else had this happen with they're GCs? Did you try and initiate potty training or should I take a step back and let them do it and worry less? Thanks all
