[quote=Anonymous]Didn't read the comments but I have a same aged kid and you have two separate issues here. 1.) Make sure grandpa knows that YOU and DH are grateful and embarrassed that he did nothing wrong and that you will address this. Overcompensate here on the message. Your FIL sounds very kind. 2.) Figure out (which I assume you know) if your son was having a bad day and is genuinely remorseful or if you have a jerk on your hands. There is time to address this, but not much. If he is remorseful and understand he will show this. If he doesn't, hoo boy, you've got work to do. If he was having a bad day you need to figure out a way to have him make things whole again. I don't know what that is, but I am guess your your son is in for some lifestyle adjustments, vis a vis your parenting approaches. [/quote]
