My son will be 3 soon, and spends every Friday night at his grandparents to give me and my partner some alone time. They adore him, however, unfortunately my mother is a racist, and my son recently said ‘Nanny (blabbering) black man are naughty’ — I was mortified, spoke to my mother about it and she only echoed the sentiment. I’ve also witnessed her recently faux gag when two men were kissing on the television.I’ve asked her repeatedly to be mindful of her words/actions when around my son - she’s ignored me. I don’t want to prevent her from seeing my son, but we’re so disgusted and disheartened by her behaviour. Weve never had the best of relationships, for obvious reasons, but part of me is like ‘this woman raised me, im not a racist or a homophobe’, but the mother in me is instinctly wanting to remove my child from contact with such views. Do I give her an ultimatum? Or is there a way I could talk to my son about Nanny being wrong? Thank you via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2HkkMbm
