I am sure that my husband acts like a little child in social settings and I and my 18 year old son feel embarrassed. For instance, my son's friends wave him to say hello and he giggles like a child towards them while telling my son to wave them back. Very little things like that but they add up. Otherwise he is a good person towards our son and a good provider. Do I openly talk to my son about his father's shortcomings? Is it better to address them openly or not? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

This seems pretty unkind. How about you love him for who he is and expect the same from your son? Most kids are embarrassed of both of their parents at that age. Builds character. [ Reply | More

op: while he is extra nice and accommodating towards other people, he is sarcastic and off-putting towards me. our son only talks with me at home, he doesn't share even important things with his dad. something is amiss obviously that's why I feel a need to explain to my son that I am also aware.

Could be Aspergers. Read some online checklists or the Eva Mendes book on Aspergers and see if it’s familiar. [ Reply | More

It seems like you are the one embarrassed by your DH. You should be more kind. [ Reply | More

Do not try to manage your son's and his father's relationship. At 18, DS can figure out what relationship he wants with his father. If he asks for help, follow his lead, but don't assume you know what DS feels unless he's told you. [ Reply | More
