40-year-old Dad loses it at entitled MIL after she refuses to let her 10-year-old grandson wear the glasses his eye doctor confirmed he needs: 'Oh, you don't need those!'

It's not easy standing up to a mother-in-law. For starters, you don't want to come across as disrespectful of your partner's family or your elders. That being said, there are times when it's necessary to draw boundaries, and you realize you probably should have drawn said boundaries a long time ago. Still, it's never too late to stand up for yourself, or in this specific instance, for your kid.

Usually, people are willing to take unnecessary criticism from their in-laws. You brush it off, ignore it, take the advice when it's constructive, and discard the rest. Kids, however, do not necessarily have the maturity or ability to block out the unhelpful and downright counterproductive feedback they may receive from adults. This dad learned that the best way to set an example for his kid was to stand up to his mother-in-law. Keep scrolling below for this story about how a trip to the eye doctor caused way more family drama than anyone frankly needed.
