Of course. But the way these *grandparents* handled this was sh1tty.

It sounds like nobody in your family has boundaries. Your parents are trying to set boundaries with you and your kids and dh, but they do not want to have boundaries with you, meaning they will call you nonstop.
In other words, what is good for the goose is not good for the gander.
I would drop the rope completely and impose your own boundaries and stop catering to those narcs. They were clear enough and brutal to their own grandkid.

Good thing that never happened here.

That is exactly what happened.

Are you OP? Care to describe at what point yelling actually occurred?

OP said they yelled at the kid. If you don’t believe her then why bother engaging on this thread?

Oh. Are you one of those insecure posters who just attacks the OP for fun? Gross.

OP did not say yelling occurred. She said her dad called HER and asked the kid to just stop. Kid called grandma and grandma “lectured “ him. OPs 8 year old described his grandparent “yelling” at him, but there is nothing in the post that demonstrates the grandparents actually yelled at the kid.

For all the DCUMers who misuse the world gaslighting, this poster is actually gaslighting. They are deliberately misrepresenting/lying about OPs post to get a reaction.

Clearly, you don’t know the definition either.

It’s not “misrepresenting” or “lying” when I actually quoted the OP.
“DS is really hurt that my parents yelled at him and were "unkind". ”

You are absolutely purposely misrepresenting and providing the one and only line in the whole post where the word “yelling” was used without the context. No where in the post was it said the the kid ever talked to grandpa, so how could grandpa have “yelled” at him?

WTF? I literally quoted the OP.

“DS is really hurt that my parents yelled at him and were "unkind". “

Yup, and you took the one line that used the word “yelled” without the context of the rest of the novel
OP (or you) wrote. You still haven’t addressed the point made several times that the kid never talked to grandpa, so how could he have “yelled” at the kid? And knowing that grandpa never spoke to the kid, it makes the throwaway line that “my parents yelled at him” worthless because we know that can’t be true since the kid never talked to grandpa. See how that works?

Where did OP say say the kid did not talk to grandpa?? I didn’t see that.

I did see where she clearly wrote “my parents yelled at him”.

Maybe you should have read the whole post before fabricating your narrative.

OP stated that grandpa called HER to ask 8 year old to just stop. There is no reference in OPs post to grandpa ever talking to the kid.

So OP never wrote that the kid didn’t talk to the grandfather. You inferred that.

But OP did explicitly write “my parents yelled at him”.

Again, you are cherry picking words to fit your narrative. The OP went into great detail about everyone’s various interactions, and in none of those lines upon lines about it was “yelling” ever mentioned or even alluded to. If I posted a whole diatribe with plenty of detail about an event and then threw in a line that is inconsistent with the rest of my diatribe, that one line shouldn’t be the takeaway. It’s called critical thinking, try it out.

It’s not my narrative. It’s literally in the OP.

No misinterpretation or misrepresentation there. She explicitly wrote that they yelled at him.

And it’s an inconsistent narrative. No yelling was described in that word salad of a post, but then she said her kid was hurt that her parents “yelled” at him. When did this yelling occur since it wasn’t a part of the interactions that were actually described in the post.

You are inserting your interpretation. Throw out your narrative and go back to re-read.

It is inconsistent to describe an interaction that doesn’t include yelling and then to later say there was yelling. If you are taking OPs post at face value, she described the interactions with her parents, which did not include yelling, and then later characterized it as yelling. You obviously are of the mindset there was some additional interaction that inexplicably wasn’t included in the OP and that is what she was referring to when she said “yelling”. You are in fact assuming that some additional interaction occurred in order to cling to the notion that OPs version of events is consistent.

OP consistently said her parents were being jerks about it. And she explicitly said they yelled. Weird how you’re picking and choosing which portions of her post you want to believe. And inserting your own details to fit your narrative.

I’m taking OP for her word. Her parents handled it poorly. They yelled at a kid who was just trying to help.

Who told OP just to stop? There's no right answer b/c either way you're picking and choosing which story OP told. You're doing what you accuse others of.

They are. I emphasized grandparents with asterisks because they aren’t just random adults.

NP
You have a very very low bar for what is considered brutal.

You can read the first 2/3 of OPs post in which yelling is never described and take her word for it and then find it to be inconsistent that OP then says her parents yelled at her kid. Either OP is inconsistent, or you assume that events that were never described took place. You know what they say about assuming…

When you remove your narrative there aren’t multiple stories. Go re-read.

Anyway, grandparents shouldn’t have yelled at an 8yo kid who was trying to help. Hopefully they apologize at some point.
