To consider kicking my MIL out for this 'joke'

[radioactiveimagination]

MIL arrived to spend Xmas with me, DH and DCs. DS 6 months has recently started babbling, 'dada' being a regular noise he makes (much to my chagrin ). Five minutes into stay, DH is saying to DS, 'who's your dada?' as DS has also started pointing/reaching for people he likes the look of. MIL looks on fondly. So far so cute. DH asks DS again, 'who's your dada?' To which MIL pipes up, 'we may never know.' WTAF? DH assures me this was meant as a joke, but I find it coarse and off-colour. We don't make jokes like that in my family and I don't understand the humour - 'haha, DIL, your child is probably illegitimate as you are clearly shagging around'. I feel like it was just an excuse to be bitchy (me and MIL don't get exactly see eye to eye). AIBU to be fuming?

Off the mark. Ignore it and spit in her Christmas pudding x

I wouldn’t think it was funny although I woudn’t be offended. But I don’t find deliberately farting in front of someone particularly funny either and loads of people on here do. So, unless it’s part of a pattern, just move on.

You'd be fun at a dinner party

lipstick that was an excellent typo insluted - did you mean to be so rude?

You should just laugh and reply- yeah Better get your bags packed then (wrong) MIL and raise a pretend glass while smiling

Tbh I'd think anybody insulted by that had a guilty conscious. Or a stick so far up their bum they sprouted leaves by mouth in the spring.

At least she didn't say it was the milkman.
She didn't mean anything.

Op should have asked her if she knew who dh dad was!

@AnyFucker I would love to see the death stare

Insulted deliciously mistyped by someone else so no I can’t claim the credit
Made me snigger though

Gah,autocorrect clearly operating on the dud ye mean to be so rude premise
Insluted deliciously mistyped by someone else so no I can’t claim the credit
Made me snigger though

Probably a joke which has fallen flat unless she has form for making snide remarks at your expense

Yeah... you need to lighten up!

Isn't that the logic that allow misogynistic behaviour?

It could have been funny or it could have been meant nastily. Impossible to tell without hearing the tone of it.
