I'm a mother and MY mother is driving me up the wall!?

If only your mother could see how smart her granddaughter is. I had a good laugh over what you said about your daughter. I have a 5 year old granddaughter so I understand. I also have a daughter. Your child thinks logically and then sets a goal and proceeds to carry it out. That is amazing. Wish she saw it that way. You might do some research online about 4 year olds and print out some stuff for her to read. Show her that your child is very normal and in fact smart and excited about life. You are not required to prove this but if you want your mother to have peace of mind you could try. Thanks for the laugh. I love kids.
