[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 555788, member: 84"] Well......... Fred would slip every once in a while and do this sort of thing with Travis. And I'd rip him a new one every time. Over the years I found out that father in law actually did favor Fred's older brother over him. Bro could do no wrong, while Fred could do nothing right. Fred had told me this, but this is often a misconception within families and it isn't always true........so I refused to judge until I had enough evidence. This came from mother in law who explained it made her furious that father in law did this too.......most especially because his Dad did it with him and his older bro as well. Sometimes it's a case of cruddy parenting carried on to the next generation. Until I called Fred on it, he didn't realize he did it. Then, he'd deny he did it as often as I said. So I called him out every single time. It shocked him how much he actually did do it. He was actually just venting off his frustration, didn't really mean that he thought Travis was a scr*w up. Then all I had to do was tell Fred he was acting like his own dad and he'd stop cold every time. [/QUOTE]
