Mary believes that children should be seen but not heard. That is how she was raised and she thinks that worked OK for her. Mary uses physical discipline and described how she was whooped as a child and that made her straighten up. What is good for her must be good for her grandson Jason.
Susan has not had much time to spend with Jason. When Jason is around she allows him to do whatever he wants and sets no limits on his behavior. Every day with Susan is a "holiday" and she spoils Jason with electronics and new clothes because her mother, Mary, is too strict with Jason.
