I guess I'll be the odd man out.

You have every right to be angry and I would suggest that you nip this in the bud now. Comments like that have a way of becoming the norm for some people.

I was 12 years old when I was standing in my grandmothers kitchen - we were talking about my fathers drug problem (he needed treatment, she didn't think so) when she said the one sentence that I will carry with me for the rest of my life:

What do you know, you're not really a Wilson anyway.

My dad (it was his mom) continues to defend her by saying that she didn't mean it that way - but that doesn't make it sting any less.

Nip it - now. You don't have to be hateful, just tell him how it made you feel and how things, even said with good intentions, could make your child feel later.
