Father Tells Son He Is Only Facing The Consequences Of Ignoring What His Children Was Saying To Him

Being a parent is not easy, especially when you have to deal with the loss of your spouse and the emotional turmoil of your children. But sometimes, parents can make things worse by ignoring the signs that their children are unhappy and need help. That’s what happened to this father, who got a rude awakening from his own father after his children started acting out in extreme ways.

This story was shared by a grandfather on Reddit, who asked if he was the a$$hole for telling his son he needs to live with the consequences of ignoring what his children were saying. The grandfather explained that his son is a good father, but he has been neglecting his children’s mental health and emotional needs after their mother passed away. The grandfather said that his grandchildren, a boy and a girl, have been begging him to let them live with him, but he refused because he thought they needed their father.

However, the grandfather finally snapped when his son called him to tell him that hid actions were really ruining the lives of his children. The grandfather told his son that he needs to live with the consequences of ignoring what his children were saying. The father kept ignoring the matter as the intent of his children to move in with their grandparents grew more certain. The son got angry saying his father shouldn’t treat him in such a sh*tty way.

The matter was shared with the AITA community by OP to know, although he was sure, that giving his son a solid reality check made him wrong or not.

1. Let’s find out.

2. OP shared his son’s relationship with his own children had been bad ever since his new wife and he moved in together.

3. The new wife has two kids of her own and they would always get jealous every time she would do anything for or even pay attention to OP’s grandkids.

4. When OP shared this with his son after the grandkids alerted both their father and grandparents, he just chose to ignore the matter.

5. This really is a terrible situation to be a part of for such a long time.

6. That, honestly, is b*llying if you ask me.

7. If they are getting their own part of complete attention, then I really don’t know why what is wrong with these kids.

8. OP also mentioned his interaction with his step-grandkids hasn’t been as frequent.

9. The kids would often reject offers to meet OP and his wife too.

This is bad parenting. This is really bad parenting. OP’s son has no idea what this is going to do to the mental health of his biological children. Imagine if the kids didn’t have any grandparents too. With the loss of their mother, they may have been in a mental hospital by now. It is thanks to the caring grandparents that the kids still have hope.

I would say the grandparents should try to get full custody of their grandchildren. I am sure the children would have no issue with that. But the issue at priority here is why are the step kids so jealous. It must be known what is going through their heads. Maybe they can manage to get all the trash out of those jealous heads.
