[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your DH needs to step in EVERY SINGLE time he does this. ”Dad, that was rude” and then you all need to leave if it continues. Don’t let DH (and MIL) tel you behind closed doors they are sorry while they watch this grown arse man abuse you verbally to your face.

No family harmony is worth this and both in laws would be cut off until he learns how to be a big boy and filter his words. [/quote]

This is right. Though with men like this who've never been told no or been in a situation where they don't hold the relational power, the conversation will likely NOT GO WELL. Regardless, it is still extremely important for your kids to see your husband stand up to his dad and back you up.

Best case scenario, your FIL will learn that it's not worth it to be a jerk. Worst case, he will react poorly and you will decide you limit your time with him. (Perhaps he'll be like my FIL, who leaves the room in a snit and dramatically stops speaking to anyone who confronts him about his bad behavior.)[/quote]
