[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your husband said nothing?!?!?! Wtf[/quote]

My husband said "Honey, go to the other room with (child's name) and calm down. I will deal with them for the rest of the night and we can talk about it later." [/quote]

NP, ok, your DH said that, but then what exactly did he say to his sister about her totally inappropriate and mean comment?

You are not overreacting to the cruel, ignorant thing your SIL said, but I'm still trying to understand what (if any) direct, specific conversation your DH or you had with her after she said this?  If she thinks like this, what has been said to her that gives hope that possibly she will see it differently, or at least know better than to say anything like it again around all of you?

What would really also be annoying is if neither you nor your DH explained to your SIL why that comment is so offensive and also so hurtful to your younger child.  And so ignorant.  Not in a screaming, angry way, but in as calm (even if pissed) a way and tone possible.  Did anyone talk to her directly about it, and what did they say?  What was her reaction?[/quote]

People, read her first post. It's her brother's wife. Op, you need to talk to your brother and tell him that you are offended by what his wife said and that you can't get past it. Did he hear her say it? Hopefully, he did and called her on it later. Tell him that it needs to be fixed before July 4th because your child can't grow up hearing this stuff from family members -- even an honorary family member, like his wife, lol.[/quote]

Ok, it's OP's brother's wife.  That changes *nothing* about why it would still be ridiculous and cowardly if neither OP nor her DH found a way, in the moment or shortly after, to explain to her why that comment is unacceptable and hurtful.  And untrue!  Did that happen?  Apparently not, and it's absolutely puzzling why not.[/quote]
