FIL makes inappropriate comments

What would you do in this situation? For my birthday, I was given a piece of lingerie by my MIL who stated that my FIL saw it and wanted me to have it!! Then just last week, he began talking to me about a bikini for me. EWWWW!!! I'm curious as to how any of you would handle either of these situations.

I think that I would say something to FIL. One of two things or both. One that it makes you feel uncomfortable for him to talk to you this way, and/or two that this topic is totally inappropriate, and will not be discussed anymore. Either way tell him you don't appreciate him picking out lingerie for you. What did your Dh say when you told him it was his father that bought it for you?

That's a sticky, awkward situation, but I would talk to my husband about it and see how he thought it should be handled. Being that your MIL supported the gift is a little bizarre. Has your FIL done anything before that has made you feel uncomfortable?

I am in a similar situation.

Spoke to other half about it. He is to talk to his father if it happens again. If he doesn't man sh!!ttake is going to hit the roof and I will be saying something direct.

cos it is just gross.
