    I know it's not porno like but fricking weird.

    This about sums it up.

    How olds the youngest girl? I think your approach of saying we don't kiss boys etc is the safest and easiest to understand. Maybe add she can do that when she gets married or something.

    I tend to strive for a balance between tactful and blunt. In THAT situation, however, I probably would have said something like this.

    "You guys? Knock it the hell off."

    Its your daughter and you have a right to do whatever you think is in her best interest, no matter who that ticks off

    Yeah now that I think about it I should have said something in the moment but I had to process it all and keep my temper down so I wouldn't say something stupid and start drama, do I just leave it now that it's passed?

    Personally....I would pull the sisters aside and tell them their behavior is inappropriate in your house in front of your child. Stand your ground! I have no problems standing up for what my beliefs are and what I will allow my child to be exposed to.Of course, she's 25 now, so I no longer have that input, but at 3 you do! Good luck!

    That's a tricky one, since it's family.

    I can see two kinds of options; "please don't do that with my daughter" and/or "please don't do that in my house". You have the right to say both, but don't be drawn into debates over it with them.

    HECK YES you should say something.
    She IS your daughter & them trying to teach her something wrong is WAY out of line.
    Not to mention rude & obnoxious that it was done in YOUR HOME.

    Okay thanks, I'll mention it casually the next time I speak with them, I'm going to delete my first OP for obvious reasons, lol.

    I am the mom of a 4 year old boy and totally get where you are coming from. I would say say something for sure. They are just oblivious to how smart your daughter is and that she is learning from EVERYTHING they do. I know that, before I had kids, I had no idea how smart they are.

    I don't think it needs to be made into a big deal just maybe call them and tell them that your daughter told you she didn't like the way her aunts (stress that word) were treating her. If they are decent people they will feel worse about hearing your daughter not happy with them than if they just hear that you are not happy.

    Sorry if this is disjointed - I am also arguing with my son about the difference between a pentagon and a square. Lol

    In. Your. House. Srsly.

    If you were at their place, you could've exercised your right to leave. Wow, I can't believe how much your story irritated me! LOL
