[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps there's something wrong with me, but I found the pea thing hilarious, and as for the leaf blower, yes he could have been more gracious,[b] but your son buying him a leaf blower is the equivalent of him buying you an iron or other chore related item[/b].[/quote]
nope, not even close.  Parent/child relationship is different than spouse relationship.

OP's DS bought the leaf blower because he probably thought his dad would like it. Lots of men like tools. My DH does. He'd love it if I bought him all kinds of tools, but I have no idea what he has and doesn't have.

Unless the wife likes home cleaning supplies for presents, the iron would not go over well.[/quote]

By the time I was a teenage I learned to consider what the other person would like for a gift, and not to give household items. The son is a minor but he's not 10, he's old enough to have a job at a big box store, he's old enough to come up with a thoughtful gift. You also know  you would not think it was so sweet and charming if he gave his mom a chore gift for mother's day, and you would be ripping into DH for not guiding his son better.

Dad should have exercised better  manners.[/quote]
