Question Posted Thursday December 11 2014, 1:42 pm
Hello advicenators,
My uncle said some nasty stuff about my grandfather, what filters should I pass this stuff before I tell my grandfather about it. I have heard about 3 filters ,is it truthful ,is it good, is it useful? I dont know if its truthful, good or bad dont know either, useful, probably?
Should i tell my family and my grandfather about what my uncle said?
I cannot explain why your Uncle may have said whatever it is he has told you. If it is derogatory in nature I can only assume there is some form of hard feeling between the two.
If you find whatever was said to you truly worrisome to you then go to either mom or dad, whoever is your grandfathers child, and ask them why your Uncle would tell you this. I'm sure your father or mother will put your concerns at ease as well as tell you why your Uncle may have said what he said and if it was true or not.
This is all the filter you need and only to put your mind at rest. If your Uncle has told you something that mom or dad is unaware of then let them decide if they feel their father needs to know this information and let them inform their father.

Unless what your uncle says endangers your grandfather's health or safety, then keep your mouth shut. You may be an adult, but when it comes to your uncle and grandfather, you will always be the child, and the child should never stir the shit on purpose between two older relatives. That NEVER works out well.
