My FIL is a kind, loving, and VERY family-oriented man. He always sticks up for me when my MIL over steps and helps us when we need support (baby sitting, financial emergencies, etc.) but I have in my opinion a serious issue with the way he forces our 5 year old son to show him affection. He will fake cry, tease him by taking his toys until he gives him a hug or kiss, and scoops him up and smothers him with squeezing hugs and kisses when my son isn’t expecting it. I can visibly tell that my son is uncomfortable at times. I have tried speaking up for him so many times, but my FIL just says things like “he’s my baby boy, you stay out of it woman!” And he thinks it’s all fun and games. My husband says it’s their culture to prank, tease, and show love. They are Mexican. He says he means no harm and just wants his grandson to know he is loved so dearly. I understand this, and appreciate the sentiment- but it doesn’t change the fact that his physical boundaries are not being respected. I do believe my FIL doesn’t mean any harm, but he is not respecting my feelings and wishes of teaching my son he has control over his body and what people do with it. My husband tends to get sucked in to the “he just loves him” thing and I end up feeling alone with no support. My MIL tries to tell him “he does not want to hug or kiss” and things like that but he just says “mind your business!!!” Or “go away woman!” In a playful manner and then goes after what he wants. I can tell my son is so uncomfortable after... I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to offend my FIL but my son’s autonomy is extremely important. Please any helpful advice would be appreciated.
