DD has had chicken pox this week and as DH works ridiculous hours my mum invited me to stay wit her and step dad so she could entertain ds whilst i dealt with dd which turned out to be a lifesaver until the following! During dinner on the second night of our stay dd was screaming at the table that she wanted to sit next to me, i said ok come round and bring your chair. dd sat where she was and kept crying, before i had chance to move my step dad grabbed her by her blister covered arm and dragged her round the table and then got her chair and dunped her on it with shouting thrown in. DD was terrified we have a strictly no physical policy in our house and goes on and on about grandad dragging her. I daren't tell DH as he would go mad. Do i raise the issue with mum or stepdad discipline was an issue before this - apparently we are doing it wrong despite having two beautifully behaved kids - i know i need to but could do with some advice on how to approach it. I am supposed to be leaving dcs with them for a weekend in maech and now dont want to. sorry so long!!
