My brother in law was late. My niece was expecting to go swimming with her dad. She was really upset and my sister had to talk with her. My niece was about to be happy again about the swimming, when he busts in and asks (angrily) "well, are you ready to go". When she says that she will not go, he decides that as a punishment they will not be going for two weeks. (I was upstairs but I could hear it all there.)
So she is feeling even worse now and storms to her own room. I can hear him swearing the he came back for nothing. Well he is still downstairs and she is crying in her own bed. My sister is talking with her to calm her down. Then a bit later she comes out of still a bit murky. He then shouts if my niece would like to go skating with him. Well she says no (she has still hurt feelings) And then he starts to yell and leaves slamming(!) the door. Then I watch from window how he drivers angrily away. She returns back to bed and starts crying.
After she calms down, she wants to call to her dad and apologies. I didn't hear it but my sister told me that he did not apologizes his behavior, but forgave my niece. She has done a card as well... I really hope that he will feel really bad about his behavior... Just have to point out that I do not have children so I do not know if this is normal behavior. I just felt so sorry for my niece and so annoyed that my brother in law is such a child! She is 6 years old, so what is his excuse??
