We bought a toy for our granddaughter for her birthday that needed to be assembled. When she opened it my husband told her that he would build it for her later in the day. He was really looking forward to sitting with her and assembling the gift.
When we got back from the park the other grandfather picked up the box and proceeded to assemble the toy, he knew that the gift was from us.
It was heart breaking to see the look of intense sadness on my husband’s face. He has had several life threatening illnesses over the last few years so every visit to our granddaughter is very special to him.
AIBU to feel upset about this? My son and daughter-in-law were in the room at the time so they obviously saw nothing wrong with the other grandfather assembling a gift that we had bought for our granddaughter.
