How Rude! I felt so bad.

Yup, and even let the girls try them on, make everyone happy, then say the girls shoudl take them off while they eat; play; whatever they are getting up to. Just make some excuse. Say they should save them for special occassions, if the girls aren't ready to give them up. It's called tact, and later can develop into diplomacy. That woman has none of it.

Unless there is n immediate danger, there were several ways around this, keeping harmony and everyone happy. Geesh!

This kind of thing really gets to me. I am all about not hurting anyone's feelings, as I'm sure most of us are. What a shame that an adult chose to act like that with no regard to the damage she was doing to those little kids. Poor little fellas will probably never forget it

I will rest assured that someday it will come back to this inconsiderate woman

Awe poor boys, if i were her i would just save them and when they're older i would give it to them and say that they're two lovely uncles made it for them.

I can't believe she would do that, but that's some people in this world.

You're right, that is just plain rude, and insensitive, and selfish on the DIL's part. I feel bad for those boys, too. Sometimes adults have no idea how much they hurt a child's feelings when they are so thoughtless.

Years ago I taught a childrens class in macrame, and had one boy who really stuggled. He was very hyper, and I practically had to stand over him to keep him on task in tying every knot to complete a plant hanger for a pot he had made. It took him a couple weeks, but he finally got it done. When the parents came that day, this kid's dad said right in front of everyone that he didn't believe his son made it, that he knew his son couldn't make anything that nice. You could see his son was crushed. I felt so bady for him.

That is very sad. And unfortunately, I happen to know a couple of people who are the same way. And they never change.

Those poor boys.

Wow,
They will not choke on little bracelet parts.

They will suffer a far more painful fate at the hands of their mother!

She won't instruct them on the dangers of putting things into their mouths-
So, when the day comes they swallow an object and choke to death she'll will freak out. and sue the world...
