[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can both be true that these parents are too fussy/conservative and that DD needs to develop a filter.[/quote]

I agree with that. I just disagree with the notion that this is a good time to apply that filter. She should be very direct with the intent of getting direct responses back. MAGAs know their beliefs are abhorrent to most educated individuals and will sometimes try to hide them when they will face unpleasant consequences.[/quote]

PP and true, just considering OP's other examples I think DD needs to work on a filter.  But I agree tolerating abhorrent beliefs is a firm no.[/quote]

What examples? The always-pregnant mother? The crazy neighbor? Neither seems that bad if they're true.[/quote]

Telling a new neighbor to their face that they're "so insane" is really not normal behavior.  If your new neighbor is actually insane (which isn't established here) you develop the smile, nod, and avoid tactic.  You don't poke bears.[/quote]

That's not healthy at all. If they're crazy, you should say so.[/quote]

Why? What is the point? [/quote]

Normalizing crazy is a bad idea.[/quote]

OP’s dd calling someone she just met crazy does not mean that person is actually crazy…[/quote]
