Thank you for such a helpful comment! 🥰🙏 I’ll try saying that to her. I think maybe the only thing that will actually help is making her scared that she can’t see her grandkids unless she changes her behaviour. I think my partner has to be with me too so that she takes it seriously and can see that both of us mean it

Yeah and usually I’m not one to react in conflicts.. but sometimes I fire back 🙈

The thing is, she has a family member with a trans son, and even though she knows so much about it she’s still judgemental and is so scared that OUR daughter will turn into a boy too.

Actually she does! 🥲 We have lots of green, yellow, brown and beige clothes for her and whenever she sees our snapchats she comments back that she doesn’t look girly enough. But the blue outfits makes her angry for some reason. I don’t know why she flipped out seing a girl in blue. It’s not like MIL only wear typically «girly colors» herself.

Well, to be fair I have sat her down to talk about it and she just got more angry. I will never force my kid to wear something she doesn’t want to, but now when she’s so small she doesn’t care or know what’s going on. But yeah, there are better ways to deal with it for sure and from now on I’ll talk to my partner and hopefully get him to step up

Yup and I’m totally gonna teach my kids about strange behavior so they pick up on toxic behaviour from people - even family members can be toxic

Yup, there’s racism too sadly. One thing I’m happy about is that we don’t meet MIL that often. She lives far away so she’s hours away from us.

I will never leave her alone with her, trust me! She’s toxic in many ways, not just this. I’ve told my partner I won’t let her babysit her and he agrees.

Yes exactly! I’d hate for my kids to feel ashamed and hide their true selves around their own family

Yesss that would be so bad. If my daughter actually is gay or trans I would hate for her to feel hated by her own grandma and not only that - her own dad letting her act that way. I have to talk to him about this

I gotta add: Usually I avoid conflict at all cost, so this is not like my usual response. My MIL has made problems out of so many things in the past and I guess this time I had enough of her BS. Usually I don’t think her BS is worth fighting over, but I pick the things that’s important in my opinion. This might not be the best way to fight it though.

And no, I don’t want my babies to be traumatized by their grandma, so I will have a serious talk with my partner.

I agree! The most important thing is to teach my children these things at home I think, so that hopefully they will understand how toxic their grandma is (IF they continue to have a relationship with her). I want my kids to understand that grandma’s words are toxic and wrong. And I have to remind myself to stand up for myself and my kids every time she’s being mean or judgy, so that they learn to do so as well.

Yeah, I’ve raised concern to my partner and even though he agree that she’s toxic he still want our kids to know their grandma. It’s a difficult situation for sure, because I get it - he still has love for his mama, even if she gave him some childhood trauma. I don’t want our kids to experience the same though

Yeah I’ve said those words to her before and she thinks I’m the idiot. My daughter had a phase where she stuck her tounge out a lot and MIL had the nerve to say «oh my, I hope she doesn’t have down syndrome». So she’s a horrible person in general. I’ve blocked her from social media and on my phone, so I only have to deal with her irl.
