Need advice please..

My 16 month old is giving us a bit of a hard time whenever my dad his grandpa comes over or basically whenever he is around him. I am not sure if its just another stage he is going thru or what but he treats my husband and I different whenever my dad is around. He is usually pretty good when he is just with us but when he is with his grandpa he acts all i guess you can say spoiled. If one of us picks him up he starts crying or if my dad is leaving and he tries to hand my son Nehemiah over to one of us he cries and it makes us feel really bad about ourselves. If my son falls say on his bottom normally he gets up and we say your ok and he goes about what he is doing but when my dad is around my dad jumps up and goes to him right away which then triggers my son to start crying when normally he doesn't. It just seems like my son thinks he can get away with things he normally doesn't get a away with when he is with his grandpa. Im not sure how to go about handling this. We want to be able to enjoy my dads company without thinking in the back of our minds that our son is going to act up again. I would appreciate any advice thanks for your time.

if you don't approve of how your son acts when your dad is around, maybe take your dad aside and let him know that you'd appreciate him not making such a fuss over him. your son is acting that way because when your dad is visiting, he CAN get away with it. grandparents are allowed to spoil their grandchildren, but if the result is distressing you I would definitely comunicate your feelings to your dad.
