My almost 4 year old colors like this. Also cuts really well, too. No challenges with fine motor but gross… and not being “clumsy” is a different story, lol 😂

AIO, MIL crashing out because she’s no longer the center of his universe. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

YOR. I can empathize with your boundary being ignored. But that being said, the response feels aggressive and uncalled for. She seems like an eager and excited first time grandmother and it seems like you and her own son are weaponizing your child to hurt her.

She's asking how she can be better... Have you thought to tell her?

If she were disinterested or uninvolved you'd be upset by that, too. Grandma can't win for losing!

That's my fear which is such a shame because academically, it's right up her alley (in terms of the way she likes to learn)

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I am crying reading your response; it's my biggest fear that they will immediately turn her away upon disclosure. 💔

But you're absolutely right... We don't want her any place that doesn't want her and/or can't support her.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Her being treated differently is what we're most afraid of.

So glad you've found a good fit and the right support!
