Father-in-Law's Inappropriate Gift to Grandson Sparks Family Dilemma

Original: My Father-in-Law Gave Our Son the Most Inappropriate “Gift.” I Know What We Have to Do.

A parent writes to Slate's advice column about a father-in-law who gave their son a gift they consider deeply inappropriate, and says they now know what action the family must take. The letter describes the dilemma of confronting a relative over a boundary-crossing present while trying to protect the child and preserve family relations. The advice discussion touches on how parents should respond when in-laws disregard their rules for their children.

Why now: Family boundary conflicts and difficult gift-giving situations reliably draw wide interest and debate among parents.
