I
I did something that at my age I should have known better, but believe it or not, I didn't mean to do anything wrong.
I have been sitting with 2 of my grandsons after school, and my son and his wife are strict with the amount of television they watch.They are only allowed to watch 30 min. to an hour a day unless they watch it with their father. I don't have a problem with that, I understand their issues with to much television for many reasons. But if the are watching television when their Step-Mother home from work and sees them watching the television she complains they are watching to much of it. She doesn't inquire about how much they are watching, so, I told my son about 2 weeks ago that I never turned the channel off of the Weather Channel so she wouldn't have anything to complain about. But after my conversation with him I thought that was really unnecessary, so I started letting them watch about an hour as long as we changed the station before she got home. My son is so mad at me that he won't let me see the boys now unless he is home. He says that I lied to him and that he wants them to have more integrity than the example I showed them. I think my son is over reacting, but I should have told him what I was doing. I just didn't think about because my intentions were not sinister.
I have prayed about this and what I should do but I feel so badly about this and can use all the prayer I can get. If anyone has any advise I would certainly like to hear it. Am I this horrible person that shouldn't be alone with them? Or is he over reacting? Regardless, he won't change hiw mind. He never does.
Thanks so much for listending. We are both Born Again Christians and attend the same church.
