Ethical question: father and son?
Today is Xmas morning. My father in law called by phone at 9:00 and asked to turn on skype so he can talk to his three grandchildren. My husband said that he has no intention to call by skype right now and he wish to have breakfast first, and then call. After eating something my husband was hanging around until 11:30, and then decided to call his father. He was pretty mad when his dad happened to be offline on Skype. He called him by land line phone, and asked what's the heck. His dad said apologetically that he had been waiting for 1.5 hours and then just turned his laptop off because he does not like it to be overheated. My husband said it is the lamest excuse he ever heard. Then finally grandpa talked to the kids.
To my opinion, this was pretty rude 1) not to say until what time grandpa should wait for the call
2) assume that someone can wait 2.5 hours for his call 3) judging how other people should manage their internet connections
My husbands voice: he is absolutely right and his dad is unlogical person.
Please, make your opinion!

I think if your dad would have just set a later time then things would be ok. It was rude to just have him waiting.
Personally if I were his dad, I wouldn't have waited and if he were to call and tell me that I'd probably tell him he was the lamest excuse for a son and that I'd like to now speak with the better generation.
But thats just me.

your husband seems to have some underlying issues with his father that have nothing to do with this situation. it looks to me that he got unjustly offended, and needs to think about why exactly he is upset with his dad.
in short, your husband is in the wrong for treating his dad in such a manner, when all his dad wanted was to wish your children a merry christmas.

It sounds like your husband has some definite ideas on how everyone else should do things and when it's not he's offended. It also sounds like there's some hostility toward his father!

I think making plans ahead of time probably works best and might have saved hurt feelings. It might work for next time.. .
