We like to joke and say my FIL is a "Jewish Mother." He is very affectionate has trouble understanding boundaries. I have 2 daughters, 13.10yo (she is multiply disabled) and 16.6yo. G-pa has always treated them younger than they are (to the point that my youngest doesn't like being around him. He talks to her like she is 3 and she can't stand it. We've tried talking to him but it really doesn't help) and touched them a lot. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea, he is not a dirty old man he just really loves them and seriously has no boundaries and doesn't get it that other people do. Another aspect to this problem is him creating problems that don't exist. When Aly was 13 and went through that phase where teens sleep ALL the time, he thought she was doing drugs, she cut her hair short (girlie pixie) and he thought she was a lesbian, she is a very serious, thoughtful and mature young woman and because she's not giggling like an idiot all the time he thinks she's depressed.
