If the parent insists, it's up to the parent to teach their child. It's a family issue nothing to do with you.
If the parent still persists, then perhaps your program is not the right fit for this family.
This is how I feel exactly. If they want to teach him that at home it's fine, but I shouldn't be told how to address my mil in my own home. Thank you for stating it this way. I was just worried I was being too sensitive b/c it's family. Sometimes we don't see it as clearly when our emotions are involved.
