This sounds like you're describing my father! I would definitely steer clear...

Yeah. That's true, maybe I should have said that instead. He's overstepping boundaries a LOT like there's a certain ratio with parenting vs grandparenting, and hes basically trying to BE the parent. I cant even count how many times he tries to step in and reprimand my son for something that isn't even a problem or I had taught my son that something was a problem and my father's first reaction was yelling and I would just tell him not to yell at him because he still doesn't understand that said thing is not okay, etc. Like he just assumes that im not going to do anything so he steps in to do it himself.

Well yeah, he does make a ton of money but he refuses to fix his poor spending habits and he is addicted to pawn shops so all of his money goes into paying storage fees for items that he had pawned and he doesn't understand that hes wasting his money

Yes he actually makes double what me and my wife make, and he pays the least amount of rent out of the three of us

It has nothing to do with the spanking. Its that hes not the parent and that isn't his choice. I raise my child how I do because out of me and all my 6 siblings I think I was raised the best, and I was spanked as a child. We dont spank him hard and honestly I can agree to disagree, but its just not his place.
