To another adult, sure.

To your 8yo grandson? No. Pull up your grampy underpants and say it kindly.

How do you know it was unkind? Were you there? Why is mom letting the kid text, FaceTime, and call his grandparents repeatedly over this? Grandpa was at work. Do you allow your kids to harass you at work?[/quote]

OP said they yelled at him.

So you only read the title and not the novel. Here is what OP actually said: "My mom was texting us all morning in a group text and separate texts plus my dad was sending group texts from when his flights were canceled [b]until he called me[/b] from my mom's phone (he has never done that) [b]to ask DS, age 8, to "just stop"[/b] and that he was not going to fly to DC unless he could fly to DCA only"

Sorry you have poor reading comprehension and have been on a rampage against Grandpa for no reason.[/quote]

No, that wasn’t in the title and I read the whole thing. Keep going.

[i]“DS is really hurt that my parents yelled at him and were "unkind".”[/i]

What were you saying about reading comprehension?  :lol: [/quote]

All it tells me is that OP is a lying liar who lies. But keep dumping on "Grandpa" when clearly he never talked to OP according to her own words. [/quote]

^ Grandpa never talked to DS. OP has been very contradictory in her sad tale of woe. She's clearly trolling and sockpuppeting. But sure, Grandpa is the bad guy.[/quote]

It’s certainly not an 8yo kid who was trying to help. No one should “put him in his place”. 
[/quote]

Why isn't his mother protecting him then? She didn't have to relay the message to "just stop", did she? It was said to her. If she agreed with you she would have kept it to herself.[/quote]

Keep reading. That wasn’t the only thing that happened.

They yelled at the kid. [/quote]

Read what?

This part: "But my 8 year old called her from his Ipad and my mom gave him a long lecture about how we "already went on our vacation" and how "she isn't going to be able to make any flights that your dad (my DH) made for us as they are too expensive or have layovers."

Where's the yelling? Where's Grandpa in this phone call? The child initiated the phone call after Grandpa asked me mom to put a stop to it.[/quote]

Keep reading. They yelled at him when he called.

“DS is really hurt that my parents yelled at him and were "unkind".”

At no point in the post was grandpa ever on the phone with the kid. Grandpa called OP to “ask”(not demand not yell) that the 8 year old just stop. OP then allowed 8 year to call just grandma, who “lectured” him. The 8 year old apparently described being yelled at by the grandparents, but no where in OPs post is there any indication yelling actually occurred. Given the ridiculous length of the post, if the grandparents had actually yelled at the kid it would have been no doubt described in great detail. Kids sometimes say they got “yelled” at when they are corrected even when the tone of voice wasn’t yelling.  [/quote]
