[quote=Anonymous]Don't address him directly. Bring it up with your MIL privately. "Mary, I notice that Bob makes the same joke about me being older than Bob, Jr. A lot. At first I thought he was just being kind of an asshole, but then I got concerned that he might not remember trying to pass off the same old tiresome, thinly veiled insult as a joke time and time again. I was concerned because if he is having a problem with memory this significant, he might be developing dementia. So rather than simply think the worst of him and continue to swallow my irritation, I wanted to bring the issue to your attention, privately, so you can discuss it with Bob and his doctor the next time he has a physical...Of course if he knows full well that he is making the same irritating, insulting, stupid joke repeatedly maybe you could gently let him know to stop so that he isn't embarrassed when I tell him to stop it in a not-so-gentle way."
