Right dd is 11 and supposed to be spending a few days with granddad for the half term

But...... Today dd was really rude called me a witch no less shouting at me refusing to go up stairs blocking my path

I promptly told him half term was off and no grand dad any way more abuse

Then rang granddad and told him that he had been out of order and was not coming round but maybe next weekend if behaviour impoves

Grandad was very cross said he was being punished for dd crimes and that he should still come round and I can punish him later when he gets back

Explained that a weekend packed with ice-cream and movies was not on after his little out burst

Grandad was ell pissed off and thinks i am being to hard on dd WTF I would of just liked some support

IF FIL has an issue with the cancelation he should take it up with the person responsible - your son. It is his fault, and the anger should be directed at him.

Exactly kelly. The adults should work in concert to give the children a consistent environment. United front, and all that! Even if grandad disagrees, OP's son should remain unaware of the disagreement and grandad should reinforce OP's decision to his grandson.
