ExMIL is an absolute doll, to say the least. ExFIL? Well...he adores me, but he leaves a lot to be desired in the father/grandfather role. A LOT. In fact, he generally just stays at work or otherwise away when the grands are there. Not ideal, but hey.
Yesterday, exMIL had a dr appointment. Would be gone 30 min at most, so she asked exFIL to watch Wee. Wee was on the phone with me, crying hysterically, before exMIL even left. She got on the phone, said all was ok, he was being a drama queen (which he is quite capable of) and he'd be fine. I text her immediately after and asked if things would be ok, because exFIL doesn't have much patience, and I was in a position to go pick up Wee. She assured me it was fine.
Ten minutes later, as I'm walking out the door to PT, exBIL walks in my house (he assumed I was at work). With Wee. Whom he had picked up on the side of the highway.
Apparently the more Wee fretted about being with grandpa, the more grandpa lived up to Wee's worst expectations, and Wee ran. ExBIL just happened to be on his way home and saw him.
Ugh. Is this the next phase in the fun known as difficult child-dom? (except...which was the difficult child is hard to really discern...grandpa, or Wee....? Hmmm....)
