[quote=Anonymous]It’s worth you and your spouse discussing what “red lines” exist where she or you all just say you’re not okay with what they are saying and leave. If you model to your kids not just sitting there with tacit approval, that will do more than explaining to your kids. And if it gets to that point, your spouse should say that if it happens again, the kids aren’t coming back until they are older and she will visit on her own. My ILs used to do this. The worst was when they were praising Trump for stopping the “Mexicans who were invading” their town (that the local factories were actually recruiting…) I picked up the kids and just left without saying a word. My (completely mild-mannered) DH got into a yelling fight with his dad. Now they don’t say *anything* even slightly political around us. [/quote]
