Being a parent is hard enough without having to deal with insensitive comments from family members. One mom has reached her breaking point after her brother-in-law keeps making DNA jokes about her son's appearance. With brown hair and brown eyes, her son doesn't share the same blue-eyed, blonde-haired traits as his father, and his uncle just can't seem to let it go. After a series of offensive comments, this mom has had enough and has given her husband an ultimatum: either his brother stops the jokes, or he's no longer welcome around their son. 💢🚫
