Well, she is far more of a family member than you, considering we picked her and just got stuck with you. |
I don't know how you managed not to slap her ass. I commend your temerity. |
I'm not sure why her comment was racist, can someone explain? |
It doesn't matter if it was racist or not racist. The woman is a bitch. |
Wait, what? |
The racism matters, but really, if the adopted kid was a redhead in a family of brunettes...or a white baby in a family of blacks, or a purple person in a family of blondes, or 100% exactly like her adoptive parents, the woman is a bitch, plain and simple. |
I can't believe you didn't say something. Your husband needs to talk to his bother ( or you talk to your brother) and tell him what's up. |
Yep, my punk nephew said essentially the same thing about my blonde, blue-eyed adopted child. |
Family needs to get together
Gather around your SIL and lay hands in her and pray, cause that is all that us going to help her. W T H!! |
Call her up and say, "So Suzie, you said something when you visited last weekend. You said that little Larla is an honorary family member. What did you mean by that?" Then when she stammers or back pedals, go off on her. |
What does honorary family member mean? |
It means you're not a "real" member of the family, but we'll let you say you're part of our family. ![]() |
Ha! I was thinking this! What a nasty bitch. Or just totally inane. Either way, it would be a long time before she got a kind word from me again. As for July 4? Dunno. I'm sure it's wonderful to see your extended family, but I might blow it off this year. If you do see them, are you comfortable letting it go? Would you need to confront her? I'd want to confront her face with a wall, but that's just me. |
I would tell her she is actually an honorary family member as she married into the family and that really isn't any different than adoption. Never ever let her near your kids again. |
