[quote=Anonymous]Please help me with words! My dad is constantly praising my son for being tough. No crying, no being sad, no missing people... even in circumstances that are not controllable. Example: my son came out of anesthetic and was pretty calm (though kids often have a lot of outbursts after waking out) and my dad went on about how tough my 8 year old is, "just like grandpa." He brings up being tough every time we see him and repeats it over and over. The issue is my sons dad is physically and verbally abusive. He doesn't see the kids right now but being tough is the last thing I want drilled into my son. Fwiw my son is fairly tolerant of pain and negative circumstances (not whiny/crybaby ish). My dad is easily offended and sensitive about being "bad" at his grandparent role. How do I word it? I'll probably phone him. [/quote]
