Crying has worked marvelously on my mom with her granddaughter and my aunt and her kids. If I cried for no reason, my parents made sure they'd give me one.
One more thing. Will is right. Your mom is WAY out of line. Now I know everyone is different, blah blah blah but grandparents new better, they don';t know best. Every single child I know raised by their grandparents grew up a little brat. And I know quite a few.
