Can't stand to even look at SIL and her husband

This is not a first offense for them either. When my nephew had just turned 2 my baby was 3 months old so we decided to just take her to watch her cousin carve his first pumpkin. Their friend and her son who was also 2 was there. He didn't like the feel of the inside of the pumpkin(like so many others) but they forced him to put his feet in. I asked why they were being so tough on a little bitty kid and they said because if he keeps it up he's going to be gay. I was PISSED.

I honestly wouldn't let my children be around these people. They abuse their child and are homophobic. Deal breakers.

I tried to record the things they were saying but they caught me.

Ooooh, so close.

I believed you up until this post, but I call BS after this.

And have you ever tried recording them for doing those things? Exactly.

What exactly was OP going to do with that recording?

Call CPS?
Out them on Page Six of the Post?
Out them on DCUM? (clearly not or she would have mentioned them by name in the post)

That's why she's a troll.

I wanted to record it all for the boy's father. Not my nephew but the boy they were so homophobic about. The boy's mother just sat there drinking her soda and whiskey and laughing.

Am I right assuming that SIL is remarried and her husband is the kid's stepdad? I totally understand why you would be upset, however the recording seems extreme. Can you just talk to the kid's dad and say "Maybe you already know this and I'm sorry to be nosy, but I just want to make sure that you know this is going on. For me, both of those situations would be "I can't sit here and watch you be a complete asshole to a small child, so I'm out>"

Using gay as a pejorative is very upsetting to me, too, but I feel like my dad and FIL use it constantly on my 3-year old son.

They call him "girly" when he cries.

They say he will be a "sissy" when I comfort him.

Those are the only two examples that I can come up with. Is this a generational thing. We are talking about 2 hardcore progressive liberals.

That's the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. I'd be really upset, too, if that happened with my nephew.

Yeah. You're a troll and a low rate one at that. Try better next time.

I don't think op is a troll. My ex - bil took the exact same approach with my niece when she was 2-3. Dragged her screaming into the pool time and time again to get her over her fear of water. And I saw a couple do the exact same thing to their toddler last weekend at an otherwise quiet and peaceful pond.

My dad did this to my middle brother and he's the only one of my sibs who never learned to swim. Even as an adult, he won't sit at the edge of a pool.

OP is not a troll. I have a friend who had something very similar happen with relatives.

NP here, but it sounds like the other kid was a friend of SIL's son.
