My dad went into my husband's work place and...

Just Mom

...started talking bad about my husband to the boss,should I be mad? My husband works for a towing company and got my dad a really great deal on a used truck so when my dad went down to the company he had to interact with one of my husband's bosses to purchase the truck. My husband found out yesterday that my dad was talking all kinds of trash talk about him to the boss. My husband's boss confront my husband to ask him who the guy was in relation to him and ask him if he knew that the guy(my dad) was being very disrespectful and talking really bad about him. My husband is pissed about it and so am I. What would you do if this happened to you? My husband wants to kick some a** because he feels that was way off of my dad to act like that when my husband put his neck out to get my dad an affordable truck through his place of work. I haven't talked to my dad since I found out and partially because I would probably go into a rage and tell him off for putting my husband's job in jeporady by being an a**hole. What would you do? I don't know if I should confront my dad and tell him he's an a**hole for doing that at my husband's job or if I should just forget it and blow it off because my husband still has his job and the boss was understanding. What to do?My dad doesn't like my husband. We know that and have learned to live with it. But my husband did a favor for him and he had not right to be a jerk like that. My dad doesn't think my husband will ever be good enough for me or his grandkids but he doesn't have the right to act that way at my husband's job. If I let my husband handle it, I'm afraid that my dad will get knocked out. lol So, I feel compelled to get in the middle.

Is your father like this normally or is it completely out of character? I normal I would chalk it up as lesson learned and let dad know there will be no more favours until there is an apology. If not normal, you must speak to him calmly and get to the bottom of this behaviour.

Dad needs to be told he's out over stepping boundaries, and he needs to hear it from YOU. Hubby won't help matters any, or earn any nice words from dad by kicking his rear, even if he may be asking for it. I think that tomorrow, or whenever your husband is at work, you need to call dad and ask what his problem was that he had to badmouth your husband to his boss of all people.Tell him that it's unacceptable, and that since this is the man you've chosen to love, said your "I Do's" to, that he needs to learn to be accepting, and nicer about him. Otherwise he may just find himself cut off from you, his daughter, and any children you do or will have as a result of this marriage. That you do love him but you need peace among the WHOLE family and that's just not going to happen if he's being 2 faced about things.See if that doesn't help abit, and if he does it again.. cut off contact for awhile until dad gets the hint that he HAS to stop.

well thank goodness your husband has an understanding bossI would go ahead and confront your dad,but since it is both of you that he actually put in jeopardy - you should both confront him and both of ya get your feelings out in the open...its healthierI would go see your dad and have a nice sit down talk - perhaps over some coffee...Be calm and be nice - going into a rage is only going to raise your blood pressure...let your husband speak and ask him why he said the things he did - let him get his feelings outGive your dad a chance to explainand then you go ahead and ask your questions and voice your opinionsand again give your dad a chance to explain himselfthere maybe some things that were taken the wrong wayyou should also demand that your dad write a letter to your husbands boss or call him while your there and give his apologies and make it right..I dont know your dad - and my feeling is that if he is a jokester that some things could have been taken out of context,but when all is said and done,,,remember,,,you only have one dad,,and no matter how mad you get for some things,,,you cant replace him and one day he will be goneJust read your extra comments,,and even though you say your dad has never liked your husband,,keep in mind that alot of dads feel that know one will ever be the perfect person for there little girl,,but while your having that talk I would simply tell him that he is your husband and like it or not you love him and your the one that lives with him, not your dadlet him know that your the one that chose him and like it or not he has to be excepting of it and doesnt need to treat him like shit
