[quote=Anonymous]My FIL once said, comparing my daughter to her younger cousin "Well, we all know Jane isn't athletic like John, good thing you had a boy too so you have a chance for one with skills." I rounded on him so fast his head spun. First of all, the kids were 6 and 5 at the time, what does athletic even mean in that context? Secondly, it's patently false. And thirdly, the context in which he said it was just so dripping with sexism, there's no way I would stand for it. I told him in no uncertain terms that if he ever said such a thing again, he was no longer welcome in our house and if he ever said anything remotely like that in front of my daughter he would no longer have a relationship with her. So in short, you or your H need to lay down the law to MIL and if she can't abide by it on the next visit, there won't be any future visits. [/quote]
