Am I being ridiculous
yes, absolutely ridiculous and irrational.
unless you told your FIL specifically not to teach his grandson to ride a bike, then you can't get mad and you're being utterly irrational and petty. and if you actually did do that, you probably need mental help.

Be happy that he learned something. He’s better at life today than he was yesterday.
It would be selfish on your part to want aspects of his development delayed until a time that better suited you. Use it as motivation to find other things you guys can do together and you can teach him.

Your wife’s dread level took a dive with this one. I suggest doing some extra red polling for the next month to reestablish dominance.

I can remember this.
As in you actually remember that day and moment? Or you just remember the fact that someone taught you to ride a bike?
If the former, how old were you?
Asking in all seriousness. I’m not trying to be flippant.

You have no idea how lucky your kid is to have a grandfather that is watching him during the day, while you work, and is healthy and involved enough to actually take the time to teach him.
There are plenty of other life moments for you to have ahead.

He stepped up when you didn't, dont get angry at him.

I bet your wife calls her Dad to fix things in the house too.

I remember the exact location and who I was with. It was a cousin, not my dad. I can picture the entire event in my head, but I can't tell you the exact day or exactly how old I was. I have a funny memory that way, though.

You are being ridiculous.

Srsly, this is the correct answer. But the fact that this upset you probably means you're a great dad. I know a lot of dudes that couldn't care less.
And you might want to skip the. blow job. That was horrible advice.

I totally get what y’all are saying with his grandpa not being here forever and I’ll make other memories with him. I agree. I guess I am being pretty ridiculous after reading y’all a responses. Thanks for grounding me here.

Lighten up Francis.
Be thankful and take your son on a bike ride as soon as you can.
I bet he can't wait to show you what he can do!

That wouldn't bother me. My paw paw taught me a lot of things as I kid. I cherish those memories at 41 now that he's gone. That doesn't diminish my love for my dad.

I can promise you that your son - in 10 years or less - will have no recollection of when, who, or how he was taught to ride a bike.
at recess when i was 4 in pre-k i rode a bike for the first time without training wheels by myself. i remember the teacher telling my mom i finally did it after weeks of practicing.
Posted on 2/7/19 at 5:06 pm to TDsngumbo
Oh lord. Get over it.
I taught myself to ride without training wheels and I still love my dad.

I'm being ridiculous. That's something that I will NEVER be able to do now. My father in-law effectively took that experience away from me as a dad.
if you need your parents for child care don't be shocked when they do what they can.
You don't own your son.
You don't own anyone.
Love more.

Relax. You still have plenty of time to teach your boy how to kick arse, drink beer, and chase women.
