[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Times sure have changed. My name is Sarah and my grandmother called me Sadie. I hated it but knew better than to say anything. She was the adult and I just had to deal. [/quote]

And if your FIL touches your daughter in ways that make her uncomfortable, she needs to just deal. Respect your elders, sweetie! It's just some touching, it's no big deal. You need to keep your mouth shut and endure.[/quote]

You are comparing to very very different things.  Lord help you, if you don't understand that.[/quote]

What YOU don't understand is that abuse comes in many forms: physical, sexual, emotional, etc. And in many cases of abuse, control and manipulation, abusers start with something small--a nickname, a back rub, a swat--to see what they can get away with. To see what will be allowed.

This woman is knowingly hurting a child's feelings and is deliberately undermining parental authority. I will protect my children from that. Too bad that you will allow yourself and your family to be harmed and controlled. Respect is a two-way street, and children are not half-people; they are whole humans worthy of respect.[/quote]
