Hi, my name is [X], I am 27 years old, I am married and we recently had our first child.
As you can imagine, my parents now want to see there grandchild. But the problem is, that I don't want to see them. They made a lot of mistakes while raising me and my brother, but are unwilling to acknowledge any of them. This accumulated in following situation: they where over for coffee and made some joke about how child-raising was handled back in the day. Basically a joke about child abuse. I was already pretty pent up since I they made the same jokes every time they saw my little son. I passive aggressively told them to not joke about these things, which caused my mother to storm away. Including throwing doors. My father and I had a fight afterwards where he defended my mother (obviously), but in the end he stormed away as well. They life very close by and the situation is very tense since then as you can imagine. Now they (especially my mother) tries to just sweep it under the rug and pretend nothing ever happened. I refuse to, but my husband pressures me to just let it go. I explained to him several times why I can't do this anymore, but he just doesn't get it and just answer that he hates it when people fight and this situation stresses him out. I plan to contact a therapist, but looking for your philosophical advice on how to deal with this situation. I would be very grateful if you would decide to talk to me since you had a big influence on my life and I deeply admire and respect you.
Thank you for reading this long mail and I wish you and your family a great day.

The concept of Universal Consequentialism 😱
A year ago, I presented a different view of consequentialism in this community, which is to devide the concept into rational and irrational consequentialism.
Here's a different approach to explain what consequentialism actually is, based on an example Stefan is providing in his book "Peaceful Parenting", chapter 11, page 153, timestamp 38:19 in the audio book. Quote:
"Since you are all very clever readers, you will be replying to me in your mind something along the lines of this: 'Ah, you say, Mr. Philosopher, that no one can accurately predict the future, but you also state that hitting children has negative outcomes!'
That is certainly true – both that I make that claim, and that hitting children does have generally negative outcomes.
However, we do not judge the morality of hitting children based upon positive or negative outcomes.
For instance, we know that state control of the economy leads to massive inefficiencies – but we don't judge the morality of state control of ...
