My mother-in-law still wont look at me, talk to me, or be in the same room as me, its been almost 6 months since I told her she couldn't blame my son for being bullied (and explicitly she couldn't tell him it's his fault). Apparently she just wants an apology.

Parenting sucks,

@Erin the hard part is that it's his cousin bullying him and my wife and sister in law are super close, making it very hard to avoid.

I'm just mostly so upset how much non-parents think they are entitled to parent kids. And I know my mom is super bad about it to, we just have way more experience fighting with each other.

And yeah, trying to be better parents than your parents is the eternal struggle ain't it.

@Erin thanks and good luck with your own parenting! I know it's not easy, but I hope you find it as rewarding as I do!
