In-laws vs daughter in law/son in each of the following:
1st scenario:
DIL and son are vegan and decide to make their dog vegan. Dog gets sick, and keeps getting more sick. In-laws, feed the dog protein, he's a dog. They reject the parents' advice. Finally they take sick, listless dog to vet. Vet says, change his diet to meat, give him these medications for now. DIL rejects vet's recommendation, allows dog to die.
Second scenario:
Parents' are one of political perspective and kids of another. DIL gives FIL a list of words and topics he cannot/should not use in front of them, regardless of where they are (parents' home or kids' home). FIL pushes list back across the table. I know how to behave like an adult...falling out and families not on speaking terms for a while.
Third scenario: Father has and trains son in a business. Son opens competing business in same small community. Son gets a job, fucks it up, company calls dad and hires him to fix up the mess. Son calls government inspectors to "turn in dad" for some imagined bs. Inspector calls dad's business and says, "well, Mr. Smith, I don't know how else to tell you this, but your son turned you in for x. Government inspector didn't agree there was a problem. Dad confronts son directly and son says "I didn't turn you in, 'Acme' did. " (One and the same)
I say kids are wrong in each situation. What do you all think?
