How do you handle strange comments from in laws

@Alina glad I’m not alone haha thanks
I hate my in laws so I can’t help I just avoid them
My parents say weird stuff all the time, and I accidentally said a weird thing to my best friend when she was postpartum because that's what I was raised with 🤦 She eventually brought it up and I apologized profusely because I didn't realize it had bothered her so much. It was the kinda stuff that would have been fine before, but having a kid just changes things, and that's ok. Without context I don't know for sure but I THINK it's just joking that isn't landing well, especially with the new mom feelings and hormones. Have you talked to them or to your partner about it? I think the comeback was great:)
@Sarah he visited and was holding him and talking to him and I was sat next to him. I told my husband and he said he doesn’t know why he said that lol
I think sometimes people think these types of things are funny. I truly don’t think it’s meant to be malicious. Annoying? Sure.
Its fascinating how there are hundreds of countries, many cultures yet somehow inlaws have the same qualities.
I'd always call them out when they make weird comments. Say things like "what do you mean by that?". "Why are you saying that". People say strange things so making a deal of it may stop them doing it in the future x
I struggle with the same even though it’s early. Some people say bizarre things or things that just make you question if you would let your child around them when they actually understand. I think what u said was a good come back probably made him think a little. But I feel it’s okay to set boundaries and say not he will be doing good things!
