My 15 months old keep touching things, even after I have smack her palm and telling her no. She will just move on and touch other things.. Or if I carried her away, she will just go limp and arch her back. It's getting on my nerve because I'm the only one who will go and stop her. My mil is the one who cares for her during the day. And now I'm resenting her because she allows my Daughter to run around and touch things.. My fil also said, "whatever she wants just let her take." We have told them many times already not to but they just don't listen.. And I'm really frustrated, especially during CNY visiting. My Daughter just go around touching things like nobody's business and what does my in law do? Nothing!

Actually to be honest, it's really hard for toddlers to stop touching things and being curious so try not to be so hard on your in laws since they are helping you to take care when you're at work. My MIL used to help me take care of my son and he even go topple the tea cups for the deities even though he wasn't the very touchy sort but he likes to run around. Try to close one eye and leave the disciplinary part to yourself and husband and dont resent your PILs cos ultimately parents are still responsible for their own child.
