Gee thanks, MIL

We were over there this weekend borrowing a trailer and I sat to talk with her for a few minutes.  We started talking about weight (DSS) and it eventually evolved to me confessing I'd gained a little weight.  MIL said "you can't really tell except for right here" patting her hips and thighs.  I told her yeah, I'm really frustrated bc I have been eating better than ever and it's from getting off the pill.  (Chemical concerns, not ttc.)  Then to redirect I told her DH has been doing well and has lost weight from getting back into working out.  "Well he must have lost it and given it all to you!  He's too skinny now".  Confused

I have gained maybe 5 lbs. Yes my pants are a little tighter, but good grief. Nothing like poking a stick at my thighs.

Re: Gee thanks, MIL

  • And then you called her a cow and made mooing sounds, right?  **crossing fingers**

     Dude, that sucks.  I bet she meant that you were too skinny to begin with and now her son is too skinny.  Yeah... that's it.

  • Hmm some people! i don't know what she's talking about BTW Smile you look fab!
  • She sounds like my mom, she would make comments like, a little weight looks better on you, it doesn't show your age!! Confused

  • Ugh!! You have plenty of room to grow, 5 pounds on you is nothing! I'm sure your husband is enjoying it Wink Don't listen to her!
  • Some people don't think before speaking.  I bet she didn't!  don't listen to her!
