[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The entitlement is astonishing. This is all about you and what you want, not what your children need or are asking for. And when they do ask for help with specific things, like the power washing, that's a problem too. I know my FIL will take on a task (asked or not) at our house and leave it worse than when he started (big hole in the wall hanging pictures, blew my son's bike tire trying to inflate it when it wasn't needed). So yeah, we say something. [/quote]

God forbid he accidently put too much air the tire. What an a$$hole. A grandparent shouldn't be power washing your house or hanging pictures. Do you own dam housework. They don't "owe" you that. [/quote]

When FIL does things that he isn't asked to do, and butchers them, that's a problem. Did you miss the part where PP says FIL will do things unasked around the house?[/quote]

Gpa was likely just trying to earn his keep and make himself useful so they don’t take him Outback and shoot him. He made a mistake on the tire, offer grace instead of criticism. This is a perfect example of walking on eggshells around millennials. Sometimes I will wash my kids dishes at their apartment because they have been really busy and stressed and have no dishwasher. I guess that makes me an a$$home too for trying to do something nice but I wasn’t asked.[/quote]

That can be very nice. But it can also be annoying if you make a show about how you have to wash every dish immediately after every meal because it's disgusting to leave dirty dishes in the sink (while your kids are chasing their toddlers, figuring dishes can wait until they're asleep), or not getting out of the way for them to do what they need to do in their kitchen (e.g. pack lunch for kids) until every single dish from the last meal is clean.

-love, a Millennial who's been there, and never leaves dirty dishes overnight, bit sometimes has other things to do Right This Minute besides make sure the sink is clear [/quote]
