Mallory,
BOY can I relate. My husbands family is horrible when it comes to weight. I have NEVER been small and I never will be and hubbys family pointed it out at every turn. ( but never in front of DH) One day at a birthday party, IN MY home, my husbands grandmother made a horrible comment about my weight. ( I am a size 16 jeans, not that it matters...)My husband heard it and kicked everyone out. He told them they had been warned multiple times and he was sick of the abuse. He told them they couldn't come back until they learned how to be nice. I received an apology letter and things were good for awhile, until one day my husbands grandmother asked my(then) 10 year old son "Jordan, are you getting FAT?" That was it, I told her she was rude and I told her to go home. Extreme, maybe, but I remember as a child crying many nights because of mean comments and I won't allow my kids to go through that.( And for the record, Jordan was a perfectly normal healthy weight, so I have NO clue why she felt the need to say it in the first place) Everyone now KNOWS not to mention weight, ANYONES weight around us, because quite frankly, it is no ones business.
