[quote=Anonymous]OP, If FIL only said it once or twice that would be one thing, but he has adopted this as his funny little schtick. My FIL also has some annoying lines he likes to trot out, but nothing insulting to the children. I would shut it down rather than ignore. Be polite but ask point blank. "FIL, are we ever going to get past this? It seems like you bring it up a lot." Be ready, though, for being painted as the mean one. I made a similar remark to my MIL - constructive, polite but firm. My remarks were described by MIL to DH as nasty. They view themselves as good-natured and will view your criticism, regardless of how valid, as humiliating and disrespectful.[/quote]
