Grandma watches "Super Nanny" and she's ready to take action!

Filed under: Relatives, Development/Milestones: Babies, That's Entertainment

Though we have talked about the show for months, my mother first saw an episode of "Super Nanny" last night. And she's ready to take action!

My mother and I have had lots of heated arguments about how I should educate and discipline Sean and Will. And she often disagrees with the rules and limits I've set in my house. It has been hard for me to justify my actions and beliefs all the time.

Sean woke up from his nap this afternoon and started to whine and cry about something. Usually, when my sons throw a tantrum, my mother tries to comfort them, offering them something to eat or a ride on her back. I was trying to talk to Sean and calm him down when my mother entered the room and said:

"That's enough Sean! You have to stop whining and talking like that to your mother! Your mother is tired, so stop crying and tell me quietly what's the problem and I'll prepare you a bowl of cereal, OK?"

I don't know who was the most surprised, Sean, who of course executed immediately, Will or me.

"This can't go on," she said, "I've watched 'Super Nanny' and I think some things need to change here!"

I love you mom.
