How mad should I be?

[countthestars]

If he didn't hurt your DS and you've previously allowed leg hanging, I don't think you should be mad at all. Unless you are asking about FIL disciplining him when you were there to do so? I'm still not sure I would be mad. Unless I'm missing something.

I'd probably let it go and be happy I wouldn't have to see them for another year and a half.

[countthestars]

I think it's okay if you were a little annoyed at the time since you were all tired and you could have dealt with DS, but I wouldn't bring it up now. Especially since you see them so infrequently

[speckledfrog]

Since it didn't bug your kid, I would say a 3 on a scale of 10. I'm guessing you are more annoyed that he parented over you. That would get me at about a 6. 8 if I were already cranky.

I wouldn't be. If the kid was hurt he probably would have said something.

Assuming it was done fairly gently and not in anger, I would not be annoyed. The shock of it was likely a much more successful technique than just picking him up and trying to sit him in your lap.

I wouldn't be at all...however my nephews love being hung upside down/etc and that sort of thing probably would have gotten them laughing for the picture.

[mollybrown]

I wouldn't be. My son loves that kind of thing. As long as the kid wasn't upset, no biggie.

If it was a more "in fun" thing to get your kid put on a happy face it wouldn't bother me at all. H and both grandfathers do silly stuff like to DD all the time. She loves it and snaps her out of her issue.

If it was done to be mean, then I'd be annoyed at about 3-4. I'd seethe on the inside but not make a big deal out of it.

[CloudBee]

I wouldn't be upset, and definitely wouldn't bring it up. Your son didn't seem phased, he wasn't hurt, and they've done this before. I don't understand the comment of "my husband does this, but he's their daddy". Your FIL has done it before, too, and it was no big deal.

He didn't do it to an infant, and he wasn't disciplining.

[CrazyLucky]

I wouldn't be mad at all. DS loves when someone holds him upside down.

[karinothing]

Am I not supposed to hang my kid upside down by his legs?

[carolinagirl831]

Hmm I think you're overreacting here, I don't think there is anything to be mad about

If you need to ask about if you should be mad then you shouldn't be mad. If it didn't bother you enough to say something at that moment don't let internet strangers get you fired up about it.
