    I 28f recently gave birth to my son, my son has blonde hair, so did I up until I was like 4, and my hair has only gotten darker over time. My husband has black hair, I have very dark drown hair now and our whole

    and my stepdad don't have a good relationship, neither is it bad. But every time they have visited he has made comments about my sons hair. He jokes about getting one of those dna kits for my husband and son,

    jokes about how my husband maybe should check my phone, asks if I have any hot blonde coworkers I have spent a lot of time with and more stuff in that kind off way. My husband and I always tells him to stop, has

    explained that it is basic genetics since I had blonde hair. We have always been very polite in trying to get him to stop, but neither of us even finds it remotely funny. My mom doesn't say anything, I have talked

    with her and asked her to make him stop but she says that she rather not interfere with our relationship with him and that me and my husband should talk more with him.

    Now the last time they were over my husband went to the kitchen to grab some snacks, and my stepdad followed. After a minute I just heard my husband slam a cabinet and very loudly tell my stepdad to shut the

    back with how my stepdad has been feeling really down, that he was disappointed in how I let my husband treat him and that they both expected some apologies and a lot off work to make up for this.

    unnecessary thing for me to react like that. My husband is on my side and has told me that he is glad they won't come over. If I was an for reacting like this I will apologize.

    Shutupandplayball 11 hr. ago OP - NTA but your Mom and her husband are- he doesn't deserve the title of stepdad. Your Mom sounds like a real winner too! From your comments, he has deliberately & repeatedly poked at this topic
  • 16
    even though he's been asked to stop. Consider emailing him how many times this has come up and that it ceased being a joke after the first time you told him to stop. You are disgusted with his blatant attempts to stir up trouble in your marriage. You & hubby were justified in your reaction- don't you dare apologize!

    Chimerica35 13 hr. ago ΝΤΑ Your stepfather should never have made those "jokes" in the first place, and your mom should have put a stop to it immediately. They are both at fault and you're not the one owing an apology.

    Imagine your stepfather keeping making this "joke" for years, until your son is old enough to understand it, what kind of damage it would do... I would keep that man away from my child...

    Interesting-Smoke202 11 hr. ago Partassipant [1] Yes, absolutely NTA. Husband should inform him that those "humorous" accusations likely come from secretly suspecting that his own wife is getting it on with other men.

    voyageur1066 - 12 hr. ago Calling you a cheater, especially in your own home, is not a joke. It's extremely offensive. He's been told this several times and persists in doing it. He can apologize or stay out of your life. And since your mother seems to think his behaviour is okay, she can apologize or stay out of your life too. NTA

    dishonestgandalf · 13 hr. ago Professor Emeritass [88] Listening carefully.... NTA. You were clear with both of them that his "jokes" were inappropriate MANY times. You do NOT owe them an apology, they BOTH owe you one. Stand your ground.

    author124 12 hr. ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [47] NTA and your mom is a massive hypocrite. She'd rather not interfere with your relationship with her husband, but suddenly when your husband reacts with reasonable anger to an insulting comment from your stepdad, it's you "letting" your husband treat him a certain way?

    Only-Ingenuity7889 · 12 hr. ago Partassipant [3] I doubt he'd find it funny if you or husband made repeated allegations your mother was cheating on him. NTA
