|  Can I smack my son in law?
I am a little upset with my son in law right now. He and my daughter have 3 kids a cat and two rats. He convinced them that if the rats and cat played together enough they would be friends. The rats have not gotten hurt yet, but the cat has now nearly had its tail bit off and its lip bit clean through. I am explaining to the kids that the rat and cats MUST stay apart. They insist dad said that they should be friends. I hated to do it, but I told them their dad was flat out wrong and that they shouldn't believe everything he says. I don't want to see the kids heart broken because the cat gets an infection or the rats get killed by the cat.

I've got to ask why they have the rats in the first place?

Help yourself, oldmangunner. He's an idiot of epic proportions. Cats and rats will never be friends, no matter what. Plus the fact that I'm sure he wants the cat to perform it's "duty" in life and catch mice in the house.

No, but ask him if his idiocy was inherited or did he work at it his whole life?

I have an older sister (17 years older actually) and she was married before I was 10, I very fondly remember a dinner where her and the husband were dinning with us and the SIL went into some rant and he got upset and let out a ton of profanity's at my mother and she reached across the table and slapped him hard telling him that he should respect his elders as they may actually know something. He never visited again.
For this by all means please do something, I would hate to see the kids sad because of a parents lack of proper respect for the way things in nature work like these two pet types.

Wow, what a brilliant man! By all means - smack him... no seriously of course you can't smack him. You can tell him what an idiot he is. You can tell the grandkids that they need to use their heads too. Come on!
