My 40 year old sister-in law has called my 14 yr old son a f***ing punk

She called him this because he does not get along with her new step-daughter and won't pal around with her at school. This isn't the first time she has pulled something like this...so, should I go with my gut reaction and kick her out of our lives (my husband,her brother isn't fond of her either) or should I try to be civil to avoid yet another family blow out?

She is no longer a part of our lives. Our family is better for it.

I saw where you decided to go ahead and get her out of your lives. Personally I think you made the right choice. Obviously the woman has a problem and you shouldn't have to deal with that. Your family doesn't deserve that. Your son should be allowed to pal around with whomever he would like to without her interference. You can maybe not like some his choices but you are his mother, you have that right, she doesn't. Maybe by getting her out of your life she will realize what a jerk she is being, I wouldn't count on it but maybe.

Since I gave her the boot, things have been peaceful. My son avoids her step-daughter like the plague and we are moving to another state in two weeks so we'll never have to worry about it again.

This is stupid and childish of your sister in law. Kick her to the curb or tell her to grow up and stop being imature. Whats wrong with her stepchild they she has to try and force anyone to play with her?

I agree. It is stupid and childish. Her step-daughter acts a whole lot like her and my son doesn't want to be around her. But to update, I've decided to get her out of our lives. Life is hard enough without having to put up with an adults' childish tantrums. Thank you for your' response!

WOW...A grown lady calling a kid that? That is absolutely ridiculous. I say get her out of your life. You are your son's protector. Even though he is a teenager, he is still your child and noone should have to put up with others talking to their children that way! I am sorry to hear this and best of luck to you.

he doesn't HAVE to socialize with family at school. its his choice, people can make friends on their own. i had a friend who during our senior year had her step brother attend our school. they just walked to school together and that was it. if you haven't already, you should talk to her, tell her don't talk to your son like that because he wants to think for himself. you can't force him to do something like that. if she wants to keep acting like that, i would just tell her not to talk to my son. i would never tolerate someone talking to my son like that anyway, no matter who they are.

We are no longer on speaking terms. We had a blow out that ended with me kicking her out of our lives. Things have been pretty peaceful since then.
