    I only tickled one grandkids feet for about a second and no one was looking. Other than that I have been very respectful of their batshit decisions (my personal opinion). But thanks for chiming in.

      OK, sorry, I misread “I couldn’t resist, and they couldn’t watch me all the time” as meaning you were tickling their feet in front of them and they couldn’t bear to watch.

        Damn english. Yeah I can see how that was a way to read it. I meant that they stepped out of the room one time, and I tickled the little guys feet. Who wouldn’t want to tickle a baby’s cute little feet. They never saw me, and I never told them I did it. Now if I was an asshole, I would be telling them what I did, now that he is older and doesn’t stutter, trying to use it to prove them wrong. But I would never bring it up, and only brought it up here because I can remain mostly anonymous so they will never find out.

        The thread is about the most nonsense thing you have ever been told. I am glad you are so aware of the rest of our relationship. They are entitled to make rules for their kids, but doesn’t mean I don’t respect them in other ways, and doesn’t mean I have to think they aren’t nonsense. Anything else you want to enlighten me about mr freud?

          I only know what you’ve told us: You specifically ignored the rules they asked you to follow when watching their children, they don’t let watch their children (these two points might be related), and you claim to be “respectful of their batshit decisions”.

          If some randos on the internet can hear your disdain this loudly…

            You specifically ignored the rules they asked you to follow when watching their children

            One single time I tickled my grandson’s feet. Other than that all of the other rules they have placed I have been respectful of whether I agree or disagree and I am allowed to think of their rules however I want. Not sure where you are getting that I am just blatantly ignoring them.

              This line right here:

              he should be stuttering by now because I couldn’t resist, and they couldn’t watch me all the time. :)

              Really sounds like you’re bragging about breaking their rules. Are the absurd? Absolutely. What would have been the harm of following this rule? nothing. What was gained by breaking it? A small amount of dopamine for you personally.

              You broke it because you could for no benefit whatsoever and are smugly bragging about it. Do you think you sound like the good guy in your story?

              If you’re not going to follow a simple harmless rules, why would they trust you to follow the important ones? It reminds me of the story of the grandmother that didn’t believe the mother when she said her child was allergic to coconut oil and though it was “nonsense”: https://rareddit.com/r/JUSTNOMIL/comments/7qmed5/you_can_come_over_again_when_you_bring_me_my (Spoiler, this doesn’t end well for anybody)

                I tickled his feet one time when they were out of the room and they have no idea it happened. Maybe I wrote that the wrong way, but I have never gone against their wishes otherwise, and I damn sure wouldn’t do it right in front of them. You are blowing this way out of proportion. I only gave out information pertinent to the topic of the thread, and since I don’t know you, and you don’t know me, I really don’t understand your point here. What are you trying to accomplish by judging me with a single paragraph of my story? Would you like me to add in the part where, when my kids were young their mom walked out on all of us and left us standing in a driveway as she drove off. I had three young kids that I had to take inside, feed, get them ready for bed, then get them up the next morning and get them to school and daycare, then get myself to work. You are trying to portray me as some gigantic asshole who doesn’t respect my kids. I love my kids and grandkids, and no matter what you say or read off your Jump To Conclusions Mat™ will change that. I have always been there for them, end of story. This has been interesting, but I am done here.

                  What are you trying to accomplish

                  Honestly you remind me of my mother. She tells the stories that I wish someone that doesn’t have to worry about offending her would ask “do you think you come off sounding good in that story you just told?”
                  I don’t have children but my brother does, and she isn’t allowed to see them at all, likely due to not respecting their rules about how they are raising their children.

                  But maybe you’re right, I shouldn’t judge the way you treat your children the same way you judge the way they treat their children.
