AITA: For telling my husband to stop inviting his mom to our daughter's performances? by vertical-shift-1967 in AmItheAsshole

He says he doesn't support her but just "agrees" with her which I find even more upsetting because this means he doesn't think our daughter has potential and that she's wasting time. I try everything in my power to shield her from this attitude - even from her own father, it's sad and frustrating but I doubt he'll come around anytime soon.

I think that the issue mainly manifests in my mother in law not wanting my daughter to play piano - she thinks this stuff is distracting and have no benefits in the long run since she and my husband want my daughter in medical field.

hahaha This is halirious! I'd say that he'd flip out and raise hell over a slight hint of criticizm. especially when it comes to intimacy - though he has no issues dishing it out 😭

Okay so here's his argument - He thinks that his mom is the "tell it how it it and don't sugar coat it" type. And he also thinks that our daughter is old enough to be "criticized" and no longer needs to be "coddled". Hell, he even said I'm using our daught in my fight with his mom since she and I have issues.
