[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 558236, member: 84"] I'm not taking sides. But it could be that he's offering you an honest outside perspective. That doesn't mean he's right, doesn't make him wrong. Just means that perhaps this is how those outside of the situation perceive it. Kids normally respond to grandparents better. It's a grandparent thing. lol Grandparents are understanding and patient and spoil.......so when they speak up, it makes a child sit up and pay attention.....make them realize they might have over stepped. Parents can't get away with what grandparents can. Shoot, my grandkids respond to me far better than their parents. (a fact their parents are not always thrilled with) But I don't have to need to correct them often, so when I do......there must be a good reason. Know what I mean?? Like you said, he's not around your kids, he doesn't know them well. His judgements are based on only how little he has actually interacted with him. Of course it's not going to give him an accurate picture. And if he really didn't get involved raising his bio son........when then he has inexperience clouding his judgement too. [/QUOTE]
