My wife and I both work long corporate hours. We can’t always be there for our 10yo son “Liam” so my dad watches him. He’s a retired school teacher.
Liam is hitting puberty and sometimes gets emotional. Yesterday there was an incident where my dad told Liam to take his shower. Apparently Liam was on his Switch while pretending to shower. My dad told him to put it away and my son got mouthy. He took his Switch away and Liam threw something at my dad. So my dad said he was taking his Switch away.
I came home late and my dad told me what happened. I said I’d talk to Liam tomorrow. I told Liam he was going to write an apology letter to my dad and clean his car to make up for throwing a marker at him.
It was then that we noticed his Switch was missing. I called my dad and he said he took it with him and he wasn’t giving it back until tomorrow because that’s what he told Liam. I said it’s fine and to drop it off. Plus Liam wanted to apologize. My dad said no. He’s not giving it back until tomorrow.
I told my dad that he was pissing me off and making me look like a weak parent l. Just bring the fucking thing back. My dad said absolutely not.
Edit: It wasn’t a marker. Apparently it was a thing of deodorant
