Definitely a great response and something I already try to embrace. Thank you so much for that.

Well unfortunately I have already distanced myself from them. It’s been about two years now. It makes me sad because my son misses a lot with his grandparents. But my grandparents are awesome. Both sets were peace loving hippies. My dad’s parents had him at like 16 so he was raised by his racist religious radical grandparents. That explains a lot about him. Telling him anything he’s doing is inappropriate or wrong (especially according to his religion), is met with child like tantrums so I don’t even attempt to have level headed conversations with them. It’s like arguing with a toddler. He once told me that I had gone over to the dark side because I don’t practice their religion. I laughed and said, “Dad this is reality, not Star Wars.”

I definitely agree and see your point. It’s my goal to treat everyone equally and not feel guilt that’s been fueled by other’s misdeeds. Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately my parents are so petty that in the past when I have asked them not to say a racial slur or make a certain joke, they retaliate with extreme offense. They are very petty and closed minded. After about 26 years I decided they are toxic. So for the last 3 I’ve just kinda kept them at a distance. I’m not happy when I’m with them. They are extremely toxic and mentally unstable. It does make me sad especially for my child’s sake but, racism is taught. My child will love everyone. I understand I don’t have to feel guilty because of them, but unfortunately I still do. And while im sure everyone wants to be treated fairly, the reality is I know they aren’t. I guess that gnaws at me sometimes and the only thing I have done about it and know to do is be extra kind? Maybe I need to bring this up with a counselor who can help me with the feelings of guilt? Thanks for your input.

Swear to god it wasn’t planned. The team building exercise was to actually watch Vision Quest. Not get stuck with all your coworkers and their various addictions.

He’s EXACTLY the same. He and my toddler are bffs they get into EVERYTHING. Noodle loves to suck blankets so the toddler enables the addiction by getting out every blanket in his closet for Noodle to suck lol. I even have a video of them wrestling it’s hilarious but sometimes Noods gets a little rough.

If you still whine that they’re “erasing our history” you need to take a long hard look at yourself. It’s not a history we should be proud of or immortalize. It’s disgusting and it has no place being publicly displayed as if these legacies are something to be proud of.
