As first time parents, there are still loads of stuff that we don’t know and unlike an Asian mother-in-law.. mine never interfere with how we should bring up our brat nor insist that the brat should be doing this or that. Therefore, there is never a conflict between my in-laws and I… they pretty much respect our choice.
But that does not mean that we are complacent when it comes to disciplining the brat and I’ll have to say that we are doing a pretty good job. How so..?? she is very well behaved when she is out in the public. We started our grilling from young, therefore, the brat knows she is not to do certain things in public because it just isn’t our store or home. Sometimes, parents might think they are too young to understand.. but that’s not true.. they may not even acknowledge you at that moment .. but they remember .. for a long time. And if you keep at it, they will know not to do it. Is your child the same way too..?? well-behaved in public..??
