[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents took my son camping for a few days. My son sometimes walks with his hands in his pockets (usually basketball shorts). My Dad told my son "what's the score" and proceeded to tell my son that having his hands in his pockets "will make people think he's playing with his balls" and this looks bad and will be a problem when my son shows up at his job.

My son does not have a job, he's 14.

When I drop my son off at school, plenty of teens have their hands in their pockets. Mt son sometimes has anxiety or feels social awkwardness so might put his hands in his jacket or shorts pockets. My son was certainly not doing anything besides walking a short ways with hands in his pockets (clearly at the sides).

Then a few weeks later, at my brother's place, my dad whispered what's the score to my son when I wasn't around.

Face it your father should not be around your child

This is not hard and why is he focused on a teen boys balls . Seriously sick

I'm really angry and upset about this. I find it completely inappropriate for my dad to say anything to MY son about this area of his body. If my dad has actual concerns he should bring them to me. My dad is religious and has all sorts of shame around sexuality. My grandfather (his dad) used to make inappropriate comments to me.

I feel I need to calm down a little before I talk to my dad. But I'm not being over the top, right? I think this is a messed up thing to say to my kid and I question why the heck he is even thinking this. I'm completely disturbed by this. My dad used to shame us a lot as kids, but doesn't see my kids too often and for the most part it wasn't too bad. This seems next level messed up to me and I'm questioning even having my kids around him at all if that's where his mind is. Especially when he whispered it to my son just out of earshot as we were leaving my brother's (my son was helping me load luggage and maybe stood woth his hands in his pockets for 10 seconds after we were done). Any feedback or suggestions how to approach?[/quote][/quote]
