I have ongoing annoyances with my parents as you can see from my other threads. They have a very unhappy and volatile relationship, I'm an only child so have the joy of listening to both sides complain about the other constantly. They both rely heavily on seeing my son (their grandson) for happiness and go in moods etc when they don't see him at least weekly. They don't live far.
Things came to a head a couple of weeks ago when my dad kept asking my son for a hug, my son (3 years old) kept saying no, my dad then waves his arms about in the air saying 'whats this all about?' Like actually offended by a 3 year old. Then she'd off in his car (we were saying goodbye outside house) This isn't the first time this has happened, but I'd had enough that day and said 'he doesn't need to give you a hug if he doesn't want to, he's 3, you need to get over it'
To which my dad stormed off and I haven't heard from him since.
I will 100% be made to feel i am in the wrong for this. My dad thinks everyone is wrong about any topic bar him. I write this post just to make sure this isn't normal behaviour, am I right to be fed up with this constant need for attention from my 3 year old? The offense when my son doesn't give affection on demand etc is just a joke to me and I've had enough of the moods etc. Try to teach my son boundaries etc so I find the situation frustrating.
Thanks.
