Today, my Jewish boyfriend came over for my extended family's Easter party. My grandmother made fun of him for being Jewish so badly, that he left, crying. She doesn't see what she did wrong. FML

I believe in respecting my elders, however is this situation I would have pulled my grandmother aside at the very first comment she made. I would have told her apologize and to change the subject and that if she continued WE would be leaving. Your boyfriend is a guest and should be treated with respect. I know family is important but there are lines you just dont cross. I can't believe you let the insults continue to the point he was crying. It's your family and you needed to have controlled the situation.

Your grandma's a bitch. That's so horrible. Hopefully you'll be able to patch things up with your bf.

Your granny is a cold and heartless ****. And the first insult that spewed out of her mouth, you should have put a stop to it. And if she kept it up, take your bf and leave. Why did you just stay there and let him hear that shit?

I was there and thought it was hilarious: "Josh, can you eat ham?" "Josh, is this your first Easter egg hunt?" "Josh are you...?" "Josh, can you...?"

I'm sorry but your grandmother is an asshole. Some people believe that age affords them respect based on that fact alone. I think that's horse shit, and she had no right to insult your boyfriend's religion and make him feel that way.

Sounds like a classic grandma.

I have spent time at a jewish family's home during their holidays. There is one called Shabbat, its like a big celebration, tons of food, wine, singing. They seem like fun people to be around. They are always cooking good food and sharing it with everybody. I honestly dont see why people hate jews in general.

As a Jewish guy myself this offends me too. I once dated a non Jewish girl and her mum also made fun of me being Jewish. The difference is after about a month of taking it I eventually snapped and told the woman to **** herself and promptly ended my relationship with the girl. Now I do think he should have stood up for himself but the fact that the woman brought him to tears is unacceptable and bullying behavior. No one should have to go through that.

What is it with all the crying adult males lately... god sakes men, get your ovaries checked.

I would invite him over again and get him to start leaving funeral arrangements magazines and incontinence pads everywhere....... Or maybe dress up as the grim reaper and jump out of her wardrobe in the middle of the night.....

When someone make fun of my Jewishness I tend to make them very uncomfortable. VERY.
