Dad Is Furious After Finding Out His Parents Were Bullying His Kids – Kicks Them Out During The Pandemic
When it seems that raising teenage kids on your own is challenging enough, some people, especially the ones closest to us, don’t make it any easier. On the contrary, these two elderly parents of a single dad of two have not only not shown any support, but kept constantly criticizing his daughter and son.
The story comes from an author on r/AITA and divorced dad, who’s in full custody of the 16-year-old boy named Marcus and 15-year-old Maria. The problems started when his “higher risk” parents moved into the family’s house to stay during the pandemic.
“They would both always comment (to me) about their behaviors and hobbies with comments such as ‘He’s not very manly’ or ‘that’s not very ladylike’ and other such comments,” wrote the dad about his mom and dad being needlessly mean to his kids.
But at one point, the tense situation reached a boiling point and the dad kicked them out. Now, unsure if it was the right thing to do, he turned online to ask for advice.

The only way OP could be the A-hole is by allowing his parents to move in knowing how they are with his kids and should have kicked them out the minute they started. But this is far out weighed by the fact OP kicked them out for their behaviour towards his kids and to be honest they sound like kids I would be proud of. When placed in the balance, the 1g of a-holeness is far outweighed by the 100tons of love and care and protection of his real family. Conclusion: NOT the a-hole. Just don't fall for their sh*t again. Please

100% NTA. The grandparents are toxic and it seems that they've always been this way. Your kids will be better off without that nastiness in their lives and so will you.

It always amuses me when ‘family’ thinks it’s OK to bash. In my case, I’m happily estranged from them all.

You are a warrior and blessing to your children. You showed by example how to defend the most precious part of all of us. Unfortunately or fortunately pain is a great motivator to look inside and get clarity. Well done!
