I told my mother in law how my husband really wants girls for kids, and she responded with she wanted boys so bad because girls are bitches and grow up to be assholes and boys adore their mothers . (She is obsessed with all of her sons). My husband cut her off because of the possessiveness and disrespect towards her, but was I right to feel uncomfortable? Is it just a simple preference? Or did she romanticize the idea of having boys

“MIL, not all girls are bitches…just you.”
Seriously though. You’re not overreacting. She was rude. If you have girls, it’s a good reason for her to stay away right? “But you said you don’t like girls!”
This woman sounds unhinged.
Oh lord, she’s a “boy mom!!!”.
Tell her what she wants isn’t of any consequence, because she’s already had her children.
Tell her to do a biology lesson on how sex is formed in a foetus.
Why are you in communication with your husband’s mother when he is not? He has decades more experience with her and you should respect his distance with her. You don’t have to be the social secretary with his relatives just because you’re female.
Your MIL’s opinion is just that, her opinion. It gets no vote in your marriage. She should also know that it’s the male that determines their child’s sex.
