Actually not a gran but a mum but needed some help re PIL and wanted some grandparents views.
Last week at my PILs my DH step-dad told my husband that next time he comes to just bring my DS (6 months old) and that i was not welcome anymore as I was a troublemaker. In a nutshell i was trying to get my DS to nap for a quick 30 mins as when he does not nap he gets really grumpy, my PIL wanted to play with him and I asked could they please wait for 30 mins but they woke him up and then complained when he was crying which was because he was overtired so i took him into the hall to try calm him down. Anyway when my DH said "you cant treat FF like that when she just asked you to let him nap". SFIL grabbed my husband starting swearing at him non-stop and took a swing at him all infront of my DS!
My DH has said he will not be seeing PIL again and nor will DS. Whilst i agree about SFIL not seeing my DS I feel bad about MIL not as he is only grandchild and I dont want to cut contact between her and my DS. At the same time I dont want my DS near my SFIL who has always had temper issues.
In these circumstances if the parents said to you that they were happy for you to come to their house to see GC but that your partner was not invited would you agree or am i being completly unrealistic?
Like i said I think relations between grandparents are important and don't want to take that away from MIL and DS but I just cant bring myself to let SFIL anywhere near my chid.
Thank you for reading.
How do you acknowledge Easter.
