Today, I went to see my mother with my kids. Before, I had told my son to give her hugs and kisses and I would buy him candy. He did, but then he told her that I said that. FML

ki's can't keep a secret at that stage. Tell him "make sure you tell Grammy you love her because she likes to hear it." If he doesn't love grandma, convince him he does. If you have to buy him candy, tell him if anyone finds out, no candy.

Kids say all the things you don't want them to say. Which I'm fairly certain is a fact of life.

i don't think grandma grumpgrump would get offended by this, everyone bribes at times

I feel for you OP. I tried the same thing with my 3 year old, but she still ignored Grandma. Damn kids :)

This is not an FML more like MLIa- every kid in the word does this.

morganrules123 well not all are :/ i help at a day care called head start and been sworn at by some 4 year olds. But thats only because of a lack of good parenting, some people just need to think twice about having kids. violence in school is still happening because kids have no motivation to get good grades and stay out of trouble.

Should've bought them after, as a surprise.

Then he'll slip and say mom said I won't get candy if I don't say I love you. That's even then she knows you are bribing your kids. She had kids of her own. I'm sure she knows the drill
