My family never let me win at any game unless I won fair and square. I did the same with my kids. Of course I might not play quite as hard with them as with someone with more experience, but They had to work to win.
Not like my father who tried to teach me to play football (soccer)….. he was a hundred yards away with the ball and expected me to catch up and get it off him. I was only four!
All she’s teaching him is to expect everyone to let him win. It won’t be like that when he gets out in the real world and he won’t be prepared for that!
When I played my little cousin in checkers I told him I will not take it easy with him and he wanted me to do it. However during the games I discussed some of his moves with him and how he made a mistake. I was doing it as a teaching act more than simply playing him to win.

Oh, great. Now she wants to confuse the kid about how the games works?

Oh great. She wants the kid to win even though he didn’t. That is what is wrong with the snowflakes, they never learned how to lose.
