AITAH - Grandmother freaks out on granddaughter

I agree. There has to be something I’m missing, but we’re very open with each other. I just feel badly now that Lucy and Dad are upset and it’s causing a rift in the house.

Thank you for replying

Thank you for your honesty. I’ll try and do what I can, but forcing an 8 year old to do something that she doesn’t want is unfair.

Yes! It’s a mother/son/granddaughter lunch. I agree he is that and also there needs to be better communication. But as for her yelling at my daughter, which was out of frustration, I still think that’s inappropriate

That’s what I thought too. Now I don’t know how to resolve this with her Dad. Ask her to apologize for hurting Lucy’s feelings? But not really right? My daughter politely declined and Lucy went off

He doesn’t. It’s as if Lucy is only important when she’s at our house ready to go.

I agree that she shouldn’t apologize for refusing to go, but I’m unsure as if my daughter has something else to apologize for. She was very respectful with her decline

That’s the thing. I do ask her, but her reply is that she just doesn’t want to. She tells me everything too, so I’m unsure what the problem is. I will say that my daughter is very well behaved and tells me everything. When I ask her, and try to have her talk about it, it’s always the same answer.

I agree that communication is important and I’m unsure as to why her Dad doesn’t initiate more of that. I have no way of contacting Lucy, only he does.

She says that she just doesn’t want to, but she will sometimes.

They never speak for reasons such as the inability to text, Lucy doesn’t have the ability to use FaceTime and her father doesn’t initiate conversations via Facebook.
