The original poster (OP) reached a critical point due to her brother-in-law's repeated, racially charged comments questioning her son's parentage based on physical appearance.
Her ultimatum reflects a strong protective instinct and a belief that her son's emotional safety outweighs the brother-in-law's desire for contact.
The central conflict lies between the OP's need to set firm boundaries against disrespectful behavior and her husband's expectation that she should tolerate the comments because he accepts his brother's paternity is secure.
Given the persistent nature of the offensive comments and the OP's stated discomfort, the question remains: Is drawing a firm boundary by excluding the brother-in-law from contact with the child a necessary act of protection, or is it an overreaction that unfairly punishes the brother-in-law and places undue pressure on the husband to police his sibling's behavior?
