dad in odd complaint abotu ds3

[Dogsby]

ok ds3 a little headstrong
dad came around ( i wasout getting ds2) and ds3 was upstaris ready for bed

dad went upstairs

ds3 said" i dont want you fo my storeis i want mummy"( he was expecting me btu i had had ot rush out)

ds3 was off

dad rang up to complain ds3 was rude
dh said he told ds3 off and that he wastired and htat ds3 cant alway be dlighted ot see him
i think ds3 need s little bit mroe manners

MY dad

how old is ds3? if he's only little then i think your dad is being a bit mean. he was doing what kids do - telling it straight!

if he's older then yes, maybe a chat about how to talk politely.

he was tired, he wanted you - and it's not like he said 'but out oldster, I want me mum'. That would be rude. he was just honest (he's only little isn't he?)

butt

Did you tell ds3 that you couldn't do the story as usual? If so, and then he was off with your dad - you might need to have a chat.

If your ds3 didn't know you were gone, and was counting on/looking forward to special time with mum........only to encounter your dad...then I'd be understanding in this instance.

How old ds3, btw?

nah, not rude, just normal

4

Your DS is how old ???

Your DDad is how old ??

Ringing to complain. FFS

Your DH needs to stop being so nice, sometimes children are tired. FFS it is the end of the day. [snarl]

yes i had hoofed otu to fidn ds2

ds3 was fiddlgin around upstairs when dad popped in

dad is 72

ds3 is 4
dh is 40
i am 37

cat is 15 or thereabouts

Bree, you are so right

If you change what a young, tired child is expecting to do, who they are expecting to see, then your asking for a bit of straight talking IMO. Kids don't beat around the bush, they say what they mean.

My Ds, is quite often grumpy with my mum, but always for a reason, tired hungry, change of routine or something. Being grumpy and being rude is different and I don't think your ds was rude.

oh and I am 44 as we're all spilling

ok simmer
hes my dad nad i love him!

Not rude.

Rude is ds who is 2.6 telling his nanny "I not like you nanny, go home"

I could have cried.

no row
jsut i rang to say sorry i missed oy and he said ds3 was rude and can he tell him straight next time
isaid yes
then reported to dh who thought that ds3 was getting a bda rap

Your cat is well old!

Ds3 tired - he is allowed a little strop.

yes
i forot to mention to dad ont he phone that he had bene markedly tired at nursery
btu then twiglett woudl tel me off for using the tired excuse

cat is old but still plays football every mornign in the ktichen wiht a foam ball

you are caught in the middle, love yer dad (I loved me dad...sniff) and yer ds3. You want to please them all.

oh huw sorry

My DS3 is 4 in a few weeks and he is going through a weird stage with my dad. He won't give him a kiss or say hello and only plays rough games. My dad winds him up though as he sort of teases him plus he is constantly saying "Don't do that" "What have you got?" "DS3 what are you up to, be careful" Drives me farking mad so I think DS3 is actually quite sensible.

Its hard when they come round though - there's always a bit of a tense atmosphere.

yes i think they want th glory
when tbh ds3 likes it best when dad steps back

Oh huw - sorry - I love my dad too - just wish he would relaaaax with the boys a bit though.
