Nonetheless, not everybody is going to extend infinite grace to a parent whose child they believe is acting out. Nor should they, in some cases. While the last thing any parent wants to deal with is another judgmental adult, there are times when they provide a necessary wake-up call.
Still, all moms and dads have slightly different approaches to parenting, and they should be the ones who know their kids best. It is understandable that they may be annoyed when somebody else tries to tell them what to do. Just because somebody has an opinion on a child's behavior doesn't mean that they are right, and this issue is only amplified when it is a family member doing the criticizing. They are not just somebody whom you can ignore and walk away from if you don't agree.

Am I wrong for not forcing my daughter to share?
-
In this story, a 5-year-old ordered pizza and mac and cheese. Her 2-year-old cousin had not had anything ordered, as he and his sibling had eaten beforehand, but he wanted some of her mac and cheese.
Despite requests to share, the 5-year-old refused, leading to her aunt ordering another portion of mac and cheese for her son, which took another 20 minutes.
The mom of the 5-year-old texted her sister apologizing for her daughter's behavior, explaining that sharing was something they were working on. However, her sister was not impressed with her excuse and told her that she had not done enough to prevent the situation.
