[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have any number of options, but I would choose one of these two:

"At Grandma and Grandpa's house, we try to say 'yes, ma'am' and 'yes, sir.' It makes them happy."

Or, you [b]get DH to come right out and explain to them that you are not requiring your children to say it, and that you two won't be enforcing it[/b].[/quote]

Agree with this.  And quite frankly, I severely limit the time my kids spend with anyone I know to be a racist.  [/quote]

Racist?  Where did that come from?  Although I believe in limiting their time with people that don't respect their parenting. [/quote]

From the OP:

[quote]But my MIL is a raging racist (I think it is very hard for her that DS' besties are Asian, Black and Latino and that we live in a diverse community and have diverse friends. She is used to only WASPy friends despite being highly educated and well traveled (over 200 countries!)). [/quote][/quote]

Oops!  Missed that.  I wish I didn't.  I wouldn't want my children around that type of mentality.  Kids so easily pick up things.  My best friend has inlaws who's belief system is very different from their own and she constant is having to get ideas out of her kids heads.  She is now no longer allowing them to spend time there for visits without her or her husband.[/quote]
