Just like I didn't stand up to my sister I'm damned sure not going to stand up to my mom like that. I have some respect for her.
Your mother certainly didn't respect your husband.
By the way, your sister may be a whack job, but your husband really had no business interfering with how she disciplines her daughter, as long as it isn't abusive.
So I guess what I'm saying is that all of you were behaving like a bunch of fools.

And absolutely NONE for your husband. Yep - the "marriage dissipation light" is on STROBE right now...
Now that I've thought about it a bit, I have to wonder if your mom said something this bizarre if she's not reacting to something YOU told HER - for example, what you have told US about how you think he's acting inappropriate with younger girls - otherwise, where in the world would she even GET an idea like that? I really, really hope you didn't, OP - I really hope you didn't.
I may have been wrong about my accusation but there was no place for my mom to say anything about him just based on the fact that he took her home after the game.
Now I can see where you got all your screwy ideas from... your mom is as bad as you are.

i dont buy that bullcrap in the least. i have respect for my mother, but when she is wrong i will tell her that she is wrong. just because she is your mother doesnt mean you have to follow her blindly and never tell her anything bad, or that she is wrong on something, she isnt sacrosanct. she is like anyone else a fallible human being who makes mistakes.
OP you have no backbone, so you need to stand up for yourself and others when they are right, against those that are wrong, including your mother.
Do I need to say something to my mom and how do I smooth this over with my husband?
Now that you have missed an opportunity or two to have proffered better responses along the way, don't miss this one:
To not compound things, ask your husband if there is anything you should now tell your mother. That way he is included if something moves forward with you at the helm.
When I was 14 I had a step uncle who'd give me rides to friends' houses, school and just about anywhere i asked him to take me. He started to make advances at me and hit on me and then acted like he loved my aunt. He'd rub up against me, tell me all the nasty things he wanted to do eventually I told on him and my aunt stayed with him... Don't know your husband but if he was upset thatvyour niece couldn't come RED FLAG, about 90% of men are perves in my opinion have a SERIOUS talk with your niece an try to see what's really going on
