[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who is team OP? I don't see anything wrong with suggesting her son change his socks after a few days and since she didn't talk to her son directly to suggest to her dad to remind the son. What's the big deal? [/quote]

I am with you. I posted that I would’ve done the same [/quote]

I agree. OPs dad had an outsized response which could mean more about how they relate to one another than the dirty socks, but that's for OP to decide. Kid's 13, not 4. [/quote]

How exactly was the response outsized? It was 2 short statements. OP is now miffed. That's the overreaction.[/quote]

The way I'm reading the title the OP upset her dad, not the other way around.

Here's what she says her dad said: My dad responded that [b]he was taking good care of my son[/b] and I should stop micromanaging.

IMO, the bolded is an outsized reaction to saying that a 13 year old needs to change their socks. Instead of just passing along the message, it sounds like her dad took it as an affront to his care for her son. If this were a 4 year old, that's one thing, but the kid is 13. Dad overreacted.
