My husband ran into his mother this morning in town (we have little contact with her mainly to keep in touch with his father and brother). For context she’s never respected boundaries, plays the victim, and has narcissistic tendencies but today may have taken the cake. We are also all white living in the south (you’ll see why this matters). It started as a normal conversation of how the baby is, what we’ve been up to, etc. THEN she brought up my how my gay uncle was at christmas, weird but okay? This turned into her blatantly asking my husband if he would rather our TEN month old daughter be a lesbian or date a black guy? My husband said he was too stunned to speak, took a moment, then very calmly said to her “You’ve always been disrespectful but using racism and homophobia to sexualize our infant daughter has crossed a line you may never come back from”, he then threw in for funzies that hopefully she’s with a black lesbian and left the store without buying anything. We will be going no contact as of now but needed to share this because WTF???

I once spoke to someone that was anti vax and also had a dog. I asked if they got their dog it’s shots at the vet. Their response was, “of course. I don’t want him to have rabies or worms!”.

I’m a doc and two months ago I’m walking out of the hospital and besides me is a woman, frantically dialing a number on her telephone.

She proceeds to start yelling into her phone:

“They want to put all those nasty chemicals into him! They say if he’s going to be in the hospital he needs to be vaccinated to protect other kids! It’s poison! I’m going to take him somewhere else!!!”

When we got to the side walk she immediately reached into her purse and pulled out a cigarette and started smoking.

I just stood there watching her yell about poisonous chemicals in vaccines while she puffed furiously on a cigarette.

You honestly can’t make this stuff up.
