Comparing a 3yr old to a Page 3 girl

So my 3 year old is running around in her pants, I don't know why, she often takes her clothes off. FIL has just said words to the effect, that she looks like a Page 3 girl Hmm Angry so had a bit of a spat and said how sexually inappropriate that is as a comparison. MIL sat in silence AIBU?

EEEWW! No YANBU! Get out of there! Are they in your house?

YANBU.

Had similar from MIL saying DD could be a glamour model before. Hmm

Ugh. And that perfectly demonstrates the effect of Page 3. Man sees a small child's bare chest and his immediate thought is 'tits'.

What the fuck, that's HORRIBLE. YANBU!

LilQueenie · 11/10/2016 15:36

You said words to the effect so I'm guessing he didn't just say 'looks like a page 3 girl' and made it sound worse. ugh I would keep distance from him over that tbh.

"words to the effect" could also mean not as bad

user1475253854 · 11/10/2016 15:41

YANBU.

Also my DN used to run around naked when she was 3 shrieking "I'm naked!" so I don't think it's unusual at that age.

BooSurprise · 11/10/2016 16:04

I think his words were, "just like a Page 3 girl" as she topless in her pants. TBH MIL silence has pissed me off almost (maybe more) I always thought FIL was a sexist dick, and doesn't appear to recognise when he's being inappropriate, but MIL come on woman, step up- she has an opinion about most other things!

That's vile :(

Yanbu

She's three! There's nothing outside her pants to differentiate her from a three year old boy.

Me and my sister used to run round the garden with our equally naked friends at twice her age! Blush

How could you look at a small child and even think of page three? Truly weird.

Aeroflotgirl · 11/10/2016 17:10

What a blooming pervert! What did you say to him? I would be very worried he is looking at my child in a sexual way. I would not let her alone with him.

Morporkia · 11/10/2016 17:11

sorry, that is more than weird. to look at your granddaughter and think of Page 3 girls is not normal. in light of his comments i would insist that any contact between GPs and DD is supervised, because MIL sounds like a doormat.

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 11/10/2016 17:12

That's sick.

MIL come on woman, step up- she has an opinion about most other things!

Well her silence clearly indicates she doesn't see anything wrong with what he said.

Mynestisfullofempty · 11/10/2016 17:14

What a nasty minded man. Yuk. You say you had a bit of a spat. What did you say to him and what did he reply?

ragz134 · 11/10/2016 17:16

Did he say it in a dissaproving way? Or an appreciative way?

Purplepicnic · 11/10/2016 17:38

Good for you for challenging him on it BTW
