[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you need to address your issues with your parents in a healthy, adult way because now your son is getting caught in the middle of your drama with them. What you described in my family would have been met with delight all around even if logistics needed to be navigated. [/quote]

Agree.  I get that you have a background with your dad, but OP you are allowing that to color how you respond to the basic annoyances of family life that most people are able to discuss/work around.[/quote]

Sounds like OP's father has been treating OP as if they don't deserve respect, and this is just one more example. Some parents treat their kids like they're nothing, and they can't stop doing that when they grow up, either. Then they have kids and it's a real dilemma because the parents just can't admit their adult kids, who they think of as immature little nothings that they have a right to disrespect, are in charge of their grandchildren.

OP, I get it. Posters from healthy families will never understand. You are the parent. Don't let your father undermine you.[/quote]
