Good thing that never happened here.[/quote]

That is exactly what happened. [/quote]

Are you OP? Care to describe at what point yelling actually occurred?[/quote]

OP said they yelled at the kid. If you don’t believe her then why bother engaging on this thread?

Oh. Are you one of those insecure posters who just attacks the OP for fun? Gross. 
[/quote]
OP did not say yelling occurred. She said her dad called HER and asked the kid to just stop. Kid called grandma and grandma “lectured “ him. OPs 8 year old described his grandparent “yelling” at him, but there is nothing in the post that demonstrates the grandparents actually yelled at the kid.

For all the DCUMers who misuse the world gaslighting, this poster is actually gaslighting. They are deliberately misrepresenting/lying about OPs post to get a reaction.  [/quote]

Clearly, you don’t know the definition either.  :lol:

It’s not “misrepresenting” or “lying” when I actually quoted the OP. 
[i]“DS is really hurt that my parents yelled at him and were "unkind". ”[/i]
[/quote]
You are absolutely purposely misrepresenting and providing the one and only line in the whole post where the word “yelling” was used without the context. No where in the post was it said the the kid ever talked to grandpa, so how could grandpa have “yelled” at him? [/quote]

WTF? I literally quoted the OP.

“DS is really hurt that my parents yelled at him and were "unkind". “[/quote]
Yup, and you took the one line that used the word “yelled” without the context of the rest of the novel
OP (or you) wrote.[b] You still haven’t addressed the point made several times that the kid never talked to grandpa[/b], so how could he have “yelled” at the kid? And knowing that grandpa never spoke to the kid, it makes the throwaway line that “my parents yelled at him” worthless because we know that can’t be true since the kid never talked to grandpa. See how that works? [/quote]

Where did OP say say the kid did [u]not[/u] talk to grandpa?? I didn’t see that.

I did see where she clearly wrote “my parents yelled at him”.

Maybe you should have read the whole post before fabricating your narrative.

[/quote]
OP stated that grandpa called HER to ask 8 year old to just stop. There is no reference in OPs post to grandpa ever talking to the kid.[/quote]

So OP never wrote that the kid didn’t talk to the grandfather. You inferred that.

But OP did explicitly write “my parents yelled at him”. 
[/quote]
Again, you are cherry picking words to fit your narrative. The OP went into great detail about everyone’s various interactions, and in none of those lines upon  lines about it was “yelling” ever mentioned or even alluded to. If I posted a whole diatribe with plenty of detail about an event and then threw in a line that is inconsistent with the rest of my diatribe, that one line shouldn’t be the takeaway. It’s called critical thinking, try it out. [/quote]

It’s not my narrative. It’s literally in the OP.

No misinterpretation or misrepresentation there. She explicitly wrote that they yelled at him.
[/quote]
And it’s an inconsistent narrative. No yelling was described in that word salad of a post, but then she said her kid was hurt that her parents “yelled” at him. When did this yelling occur since it wasn’t a part of the interactions that were actually described in the post.[/quote]

You are inserting your interpretation. Throw out your narrative and go back to re-read.
[/quote]
It is inconsistent to describe an interaction that doesn’t include yelling and then to later say there was yelling. If you are taking OPs post at face value, she described the interactions with her parents, which did not include yelling, and then later characterized it as yelling. You obviously are of the mindset there was some additional interaction that inexplicably wasn’t included in the OP and that is what she was referring to when she said “yelling”. You are in fact assuming that some additional interaction occurred in order to cling to the notion that OPs version of events is consistent. [/quote]

OP consistently said her parents were being jerks about it. And she explicitly said they yelled. Weird how you’re picking and choosing which portions of her post you want to believe. And inserting your own details to fit your narrative.

I’m taking OP for her word. Her parents handled it poorly. They yelled at a kid who was just trying to help.

[/quote]
You can read the first 2/3 of OPs post in which yelling is never described and take her word for it and then find it to be inconsistent that OP then says her parents yelled at her kid. Either OP is inconsistent, or you assume that events that were never described took place. You know what they say about assuming…[/quote]

OP rambles but isn’t inconsistent.

You are assuming that OP is lying because what she actually wrote doesn’t work with the narrative you created before you read her entire post. 
 [/quote]
You clearly don’t understand the meaning of the word inconsistent. OP described interactions with her parents that involved her kid, none of which include yelling, and none of which include grandpa speaking with the kid at all. After she is finished with her description of those interactions, she says her son was hurt that his grandparents “yelled” at him. That is the very definition of inconsistency unless you are assuming interactions that weren’t described also occurred. [/quote]

No, she didn’t detail out every single word spoken by whom over the various group communications. Her post was long enough as is.  :lol:

Maybe she should have done that though so you don’t need to fill it in with your own interpretation.

She said they yelled. Inappropriate when the kid was just trying to help. 
[/quote]
Please, the actual yelling and the part where grandpa actually talked to the kid aren’t inconsequential details here when the whole point of the post is that OPs parents were crappy to her kid  :roll: [/quote]

Right. And she did say that they yelled. Pretty crappy. 
[/quote]
Right, and she said they yelled despite the fact that nothing else in her post backs that up. Her dad called HER and asked for the 8 year old to stop, and mom “lectured”. Again you can’t credit any of OPs versions of events because they are inconsistent with each other. Did her father tell the kid to stop, or did he reach out to her to ask him to stop? Did OPs parents yell at her kid, or did her dad communicate with OP and her mom “lectured” the kid?[/quote]

Maybe you need a play by play to displace your narrative but she said “they” yelled.
