A young woman sought advice on the internet after her father-in-law made rude comments that made her want to ban him from her home for good.
As the lady in question revealed in her Mumsnet post, her mother-in-law’s new husband was constantly throwing around sexist remarks when the in-laws visited her and her husband on Christmas Day.
According to the woman, who is a mother of an 11-year-old daughter, the man would go watch TV after dinner while telling the women it was their job to clean up after him.
He would allegedly make other sexist comments such as saying that women don’t belong in men’s sports when he saw a female commentator on the tv.
“So recently we have been spending more time with mother-in-law and her new husband. However, both me and my husband have noticed that her husband is sexist,” she wrote in her post.
“He makes comments such as (in reference to female sports commentators) ‘what does she know about sport? Get her away! No women should ever be in (specific) area of this sport.’”
She added: “At the end of the meal, he pipes up that he’s away to sit and watch tv as the kitchen is a women’s place for cooking and washing up etc.
“What’s worse, my daughter who is 11 asked her dad ‘why does he hate women? Is he always this nasty to them?’”
After the dinner, both hosts talked about the issue and agreed to tell the mother of the woman’s husband that they never again want to see her new partner in their house.
The woman’s mother-in-law, however, responded angrily to their comments and went on to call them “nasty” for ousting her new husband over her traditional views.
“She says she’s so hurt and she cannot believe we’d do something like this,” the woman explained.
After her post went viral, the woman received plenty of responses from people saying it was up to her and her husband to decide whether or not they wanted to welcome the sexist man in their home again or not.
“I’d have called him out over the comments about cooking and washing up. No one gets to act like that in my house! Stick to your guns,” someone wrote.
“Your house, your rules. You’re an adult so tell him you find his views offensive,” another said.
