[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So a happy grandfather made impromptu plans with his grandchild for a really fun outing, but forgot to consider logistics?  Tar and feather him!!

Lighten up, OP.[/quote]
All I did was get an annoyed look on my face. He badgered me into saying that he should have spoken to me first. [/quote]

NP. “All you did” was act like a sullen teen instead of a grown adult, communicating with looks instead of calm words. Own it.[/quote]
Because he is incredibly hot tempered and the result was the same. I was trying keep him from getting mad at me because my son was so excited. I was trying to keep my mouth shut. [/quote]

why were you so upset about this?  Was the suggestion inappropriate or the issue simply that you didn't get asked first?

Usually hosts are in charge of planned activities in my family, so it would be totally normal for a grandparent to do this when we visit.  Both sets of GPs....and I love it because I don't have to do the "emotional labor" of planning everything DCUM loves to hate.[/quote]
