I can honestly say that I hate my father in-law. Is THAT BAD? In the two years I have been married to my husband, his father has gone out of his way to make sure that I remember that men are in charge and woman just keep up the house. Recently his parenst had to move in with us because of financial situation. I was very unhappy with this. My sons entire two years of life he has consistently been around english and spanish speaking people. My family speaks purely english and my husband's speaks purely spanish. So my doctor says that he will be slow to speak. Any way not the point of my story. My father in-law has said several times that he should be speaking. "you are with him everyday you could be teaching him to speak" I do try to. But it is very hard when your father in-law instead of saying real words to him says "daba daba da" And his idea of playing with him is to take his toys and says "mine" and holds them away from him until he cries for them. He chases him around the house (granted at times he enjoys it), he whines when he does not want to play and says "stop", but instead of stopping he keeps after him, even when he is trying to hide behind me. Three times so far he has done this to the point of making him cry. He and his wife also do this thing where he will be holding him and his wife says "no, he is mine" and reaches for her husband, in turn Jason (my son) pushes her away, or tries to hit her. This has taught him that no one can be close. He pushes me away from my husband when I try to hug or kiss him. I am so tired of this I do not know what to do. My husband is no help, he just says "he has done that with all the kids in the family." The other day he tells me I have no right to say anything to his father. But he does not say anything either. Plus I do not think his father will listen to me anyway, he has not so far. He has not respected any of the rules I have for my son. My husband just keeps telling me to "stick it out they are leaving in a year", but that is one year of bad habits they will be teaching my son. So I am one person against three who is trying to teach my son good things. What should I do? Thanks for reading, helpless in Illinois
