[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm curious why you say your child with your wife is "your" son, and not "our" son.  I would think your wife wants her dad to meet his grandchild, as it is her son as well.  I know you carried, but I've never heard a lesbian couple talking about a child as only belonging to only the gestating partner.

Your wife's dad is a jerk.

FWIW, I had a partner whose father wouldn't look at me.  He pretended I didn't exist, that I wasn't in the room.  He never addressed me.  It was psychologically awful, and the fact that my partner felt like I needed to be cool with this treatment to keep the peace felt awful.  I refused to go to see the father, eventually.  I respect myself too much for that garbage.[/quote]

It is the grandfather calling the child OP’s baby…he apparently doesn’t consider the child to be his daughter’s as well. I thought that point was pretty clear.[/quote]

OP here - yes, I realized after the title of saying "my" son might seem off but I wrote it as such bc my FIL recognizes him as my son, just not my wife's. I fully recognize him as both of our child.

Still unclear what is actually going to happen. The last my wife updated me (over the weekend) was that her father texted her telling her what time he was landing (late next Saturday evening) and that she responded with a thumbs up, so no confirmed plans. She dreading dealing with it any further so hasn't followed up about any specific plans beyond that. [/quote]

Why is she avoiding it? She needs to make plans with him to stay with your or not. He thinks he's staying with you. [/quote]
