Space enthusiast grandma following Artemis II journey is excited to teach grandkids about the planets, makes daughter-in-law cry after discovering she believes the world is flat: ‘This is literally my definition of stupid.'

Grandmothers can be wonderful role models for kids! Sometimes even more so than the children's actual mother. Here we have the classic case of an adult who has let the internet completely cloud her rational mind and now believes every conspiracy theory she comes across. One of the craziest being that the Earth is flat… So grandma came in to properly educate her grandbabies.

It's one thing to be annoyed at a mother-in-law for overstepping her boundaries when it comes to the grandchildren. As a mother, you have every right to raise your kids how you believe is best. That being said, facts are facts. If you are miseducating your children, then someone else needs to come in and give them a proper education. For instance, you should not teach your kids based on what you read on the internet. That can be harmful in both mind and body. The grandma didn't even realize her daughter-in-law believed in the conspiracy theory that the Earth is flat, one that has been continuously disproven, even accidentally by its own followers. So she was just happily sharing some facts about space to her grandbabies. That's when she discovered her DIL's beliefs…

Maybe she could have educated everyone involved in a more empathetic manner, sure. But she already doesn't get along with her DIL, so it seems like empathy left the chat a while ago… Instead, she started providing cold, hard facts to her DIL, while her DIL had nothing to back up her beliefs. She was so educated that it made her DIL cry. Why? Because she felt stupid in front of her children. But like, what did you expect ma'am? You're taking advice from people whose only form of education comes from the dark web and memes… Actually, memes tend to be more educated than this.
