My husband (John - 57M) and I (56F) went to visit my daughter (Nora - 32F) after a long time. We were unable to see each other due to covid restrictions and later due to our schedules simply not lining up.

I think some background information is required. Now we come from a very liberal background from new york. We raised Nora with our values and trued to give her everything we could.

However, she went on to marry Catherine (35F) who comes from a very conservative and influential republican family from the South. Understandably, we do not get along with Catherine on most issues. This is reflected mostly via dinner table arguments always ending badly and us spending less and less time together with her.

I thought as someone who was queer from that background she would be more inclined to change her views but I was wrong.

Now as we were staying with them I noticed a few problematic issues about my grandkids (Leo 8M and Lauren 6F). This includes them taking after Catherine in her ideas on the economy, healthcare, taxes, etc. I truly think they’re too young for this propaganda and I can’t believe Nora allows it.

So I told Nora all about this and said that her kids were already acting like their other mom, and that they’re too young to be exposed to these kinds of things. She told me my concerns were baseless and that as their mothers, it was their job to worry about this.

I told her she didn’t worry about this and that’s what caught me off guard. Nora got really mad and told me to keep my judgemental comments to myself and not forget that Catherine is also their mother. I just raised one concern. AITA?
