NCed.
BIL (actually my DH's BIL) thought it would be really funny to teach my 2 year old to shout "you're gay!" at people. I was deeply unimpressed but ignored it and my DC didn't really repeat it.
Fast forward nearly 3 months, and we are visiting SIL and BIL and their children. BIL again teaches toddler to shout "You're gay!" in front of some friends and family. A few people snigger / shriek etc, DC thinks it is fun to get a reaction and repeats. DH and I shoot daggers at BIL but don't want to make a big deal of it in front of DC, we're about to get in the car and leave anyway.
We get home and in past few days DC has been randomly shouting it out even while playing alone - not frequently but have heard it a few times. DH and I are just ignoring it when DC says it and not reacting as think that is probably the best thing to do.
I'm sure it will all be history in a few weeks but I'm absolutely FUMING at BIL and massively want to give him a very angry piece of my mind, I'm struggling to let it go which is what I'd usually do to keep the peace when it comes to DH's family.
Am I BU and overreacting? Should I say something?
(For backstory, BIL is in his 40s, thinks he's hilarious, and thinks a lot of himself - he's v successful, wealthy, aggressive, thinks he's always right and will shout people down. He can be really charming, and sweet with DC when he wants to be. We don't see him v often, but DC and cousins are close and love playing together so keeping away from him not really an option)
