my DD and DSIL are having a nightmare and questioning their parenting skills. DGDs are 4 and 2. The eldest has just started school (very young) and is coping well though obviously exhausted by the end of the day. Both are very articulate and stubborn. When they are good they are divine but the minute they are asked to do something they don't want to do they kick off. The parents virtually NEVER cave in, but it is pretty good hell trying to get the 4yr old off to school on time if she wont get dressed! The youngest even managed to make herself sick by screaming on a plane for over an hour. It is as if they are blind and deaf to what is going on around them. They never do it at the same time. DD is stay at home Mum, and I think 'familiarity breeds contempt' in a way. So they just push her buttons and she is being so worn down by it all. Any advice would be so welcome. I think it will pass and they are brilliant parents presenting a united front and doing their best. I have to admit as an old fashioned granny, my hands itch when I see them being such little monsters. They don't do it all the time and are generally lovely and loving, but my DD is v depressed and worries she is a failure mother raising feral children. Any suggestions please?
