Tried? Depending on the situation maybe the father in law did something wrong that is already insulting and below the belt for the son in law. What is the story in the first place? I don't want to judge yet not until I will hear the story. Remember respect is earn not imposed.

Yes, he tried to slap his father in law but missed and the old man was able to counter with a pan tray that hit him on the shoulder. The story between them is actually as old as 25 years already. There is enmity between them because the son in law has been dependent on his in laws. The old man has been feeding his family for 23 years because the son in law had no job all those years. his children practically grew with the old man and the latter was the one who sent his grandchildren to school. Its a long story actually. I was trying to understand too why it happened but I could not seem to give give sense out of the son in law's actions. Thanks Metatronik.

That's a very rude thing to do. Whatever the concern is all about, we still need to be tactful and remain respectful to our elders.

I totally agree Shavkat.. I really didn't anticipate he could do that. I know there is bad blood between them because the father in law has no respect for the guy..and that is because the old man is the one feeding his family for years. Even with all the support he's getting, he had the guts to slap his father in law. Really misguided man.

Oh my! I don't think there are any excuses for this kind of act. That is a perfect example of being disrespectful to an elder.

Very true Jenny. I also could not imagine myself doing that to the old man who also happens to be my father in law. I nearly ran over the guy when I saw him on the street wanting to return to the house of my father in law because he got beaten up by my brother in laws.

yes it is very disrespectful and very bad. I don't see any reason why one should end up that way. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Thanks too Riya.. It happened a few days ago actually and I was meaning to forget it. But the old man is also my father in law so we're just one family if you would look at it. The guy is the husband of my wife's sister so it leaves a bad taste in the mouth really. Thanks again.
