[quote=Anonymous]I think it's wonderful that your child speaks up and defends you. He sounds like a great kid. Children, especially young children, can compartmentalize "good grandpa" who they have fun with and enjoy and want to stay, from "bad grandpa" who is mean to mommy. It's not going to do him long term harm. You can tell him Grandpa is getting old and sometimes old people say mean things. Continue gently standing up to your father. If your father threatens to go home, I would let him, without question. Tell your child that grandpa has to go home because he's not behaving the way people behave in your house, where the rules are people have to be nice to each other. He'll come back very soon when he can be nice to every one. Don't negotiate.[/quote]
