My fil is just not great company. Not looking forward to the family holiday this year! Went to the park. My 3yo was a bit tired when we got there (I wonder if he's coming down with something actually). Fil trying to play with him but basically that means doing it his 'fun' way rather than letting my son lead the game. Ds throws a mini strop when fil and father are kicking football to each other and he wants to have it. Basically he whines something like 'mine' a bit and sits on the floor. Fil gets cross then removes himself and wanders off looking into the distance. On one hand it's good that he walks away if he can't control his temper, but on the other hand how ridiculous to lose it over something so small and it actually makes it feel really awkward. So the rest of the park trip I played with ds and everyone else stood around looking grumpy. Then ds wanted to throw the ball to the dog, so I said go and ask grandad for the thrower. He nervously sidled over, not keen to ask. Fil didn't look down or anything. Mil said-'ds is trying to ask you something' and he said 'he needs to learn to socialise.' (Oh the irony I thought). Ds said 'grandad doesn't like me :('. Eventually he asked and got the thrower. Similar incidents like this regularly. It's like treading on eggshells. Aibu to think this is bad behaviour? Would appreciate outsiders views, if you've got this far!
