MIL insults on Christmas

My mother-in-law told me tonight to stop hugging my daughter because she needs to learn independence and she shouldn't grow up to be an Italian kid who lives with her parents as an adult. I am Italian and she is not. So tonight she managed to insult my parenting, insult my child, and insult my heritage and my daughter's heritage. Oh, and in case you are wondering, my daughter is 5 months old. Independence for an infant is death, you cold hearted idiot!
