A bit of backstory to explain, on Christmas Day my dcs each received an iPad and were understandably very excited about it. We had lunch at my dads house with my sister and her family and my brother and his family. My ds is 11 and has just started at secondary school, since then his personality has. changed somewhat but not in any way I did not expect, he is getting the bus independently etc, he's growing up. His attitude at times is less then ideal but I put that down in large part to his age, the onset of puberty etc. He still gets a talking to or a punishment if he does something he knows he shouldn't.
So xmas day he is full of excitement and a little cocky wanting to show off his new iPad which I think is fair enough. He wasn't bring rude just look what I have isn't it awesome, my brother however decided my son was being annoying and took his glasses off him, saying oh well now you can't see it so my son (wrongly) kicked him. I was in the kitchen cooking at this point so my sis in law defused the situation and told my brother off and then sat with my son looking at his iPad.
I was unaware of all of this until last night when it came up. I was automatically wound up as soon as it came out that he had taken my sons glasses, he knows my son has had trouble with bullies at senior school taking his stuff and it's really upsetting for him. I could have just moved on from that though until he said, "well you know your son is a right twat!!"
I'm thinking, my son is an 11 year old child, you are a 30 year old man.
Who treats a child that way? Who would then go and slag off a child to its mother! I'm so angry at him!!
