Oh, she's said worse to my sweet, impressionable children. Like the Christmas she told my dd that "your parents aren't married anymore because your mommy is selfish and didn't keep her promises." Dd was 4 at the time and came home in tears about it. And I couldn't give her the real reasons without bad mouthing her dad and explaining things like adultery lol. She's just not a nice person. So yes, you are free to punch her in the face. ;)
