We had yo have a long talk with DD about religion. It turned out ok but now our DD tells my MIL that she needs to be more logical and realize that any good God, hers or otherwise, would welcome her because she is a "good person ". It makes me laugh everytime but my poor DH gets to listen to his mother tell him how badly we are messing up our daughter.


Op here: Good for your DD!

- Since I am clearly addicted to chocolate, she is (even after 6 years living outside of my womb) suffering from chocolate withdrawal and I should, therefore, give her more chocolate.
- She is a avatar child, a child of the new millennium and I am severely oppressing her by not letting her do whatever she wants. And that her teacher is clearly a nazi by expecting my daughter to follow basic classroom rules.

I find delusional dad/grandad sort of endearing here. He just wants his GDD to be perfect (or "normal"?).

My mom just told me her step daughter, who is gay and has been living with her girlfriend for over a year, chooses to be gay. She went on to say the girlfriend, who is more "butch", obviously didn't have a choice. But step daughter is so feminine that she could find a man if she hadn't chosen to be gay.
I didn't know where to begin.
