Asking Eric: Uncle's ‘joking' text to niece offends mom
Dear Eric: I'm married with four kids and have a sizable extended family. One son, who is in seventh grade, runs track and finished the season with personal records in his events, which also happen to place second in his school's all-time best records. I sent out a family text to all of our extended family raving about his achievements. This is common amongst all of the aunts and uncles. We got a load of congrats. However, my husband's brother side-texted my eldest daughter, 'tell your brother to stop being first loser.' (He did not text any 'congrats' to the group text.) My daughter showed me the text and chuckled. I'm not sure if she showed my son.
