[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure how old your girls are but if they are over 4 and he is showing subtle favoritism, they're likely to notice. He's vindictive enough to say it to get to you(let's be real, he knew you would be hurt by this), he's likely to try to get to you again. He knows you're protective over your kids and it's a sensitive matter for you so he knows it's a button. I would not leave my kids unattended there. Your parents may not be as way of his actions or intentions and less likely to pick up on any passive aggressiveness. I wouldn't even bring it up, you'll end up being labeled as overly protective and sensitive. Limit the opportunity he has to say anything vindictive to them. If he notices you monitoring his interactions and says anything I'd just say you wanted make sure he didn't was go out of his way to make it known to them that they "aren't his favorite". Maybe then he'd feel like an immature jerk realizing that he forced you to have to be productive of your kids around him. Most likely he won't be that close to realization and will probably exhibit more immature negative attention seeking behavior for a few more years. But whatever you do, don't leave your kids there to be apart of his childish game, it is not fair to them. Good luck! :-)[/quote]

It sounds like he's a grade-A grudge holder who's still in a snit about the dog. I wouldn't leave my kids alone with him. He sounds immature and bratty and willing and ready to say mean things to make his point.

I would also ignore the trolly OP basher who posted on here a couple of times - that person/type who shows up on every thread offering contrarian, stupid advice about how it's all your fault and all of your instincts and reactions are wrong. [/quote]

^^ And I meant to add, I agree with the PP I quoted above! The trolly OP basher is someone who's posting elsewhere in the thread.[/quote]
