I posted a video to Facebook of my #toddler laughing at her dad. “Daddy s…” she started, fumbling for the word.
“Daddy silly,” my husband filled in for her, continuing to goof around and make her laugh. She giggled some more and repeated, “Daddy silly!”

Cute, right? Not according to my MIL. She angry-reacted the post and left a comment saying “NOT silly, UNIQUE and BEAUTIFUL.” When my husband messaged her about it later she seemed to be legitimately upset!

Now, the woman adores her grand baby, no question of that. But apparently she remains so damn sentimental about “her boys” (my husband is eldest of four) that even a 20 month old calling him silly (when he was being silly!) is offensive.

Can I get an eye roll up in this place, please?!
