  • God, my MIL's a ***!

    Just been to my MIL's an she said "I want to buy you some jeans for xmas, shall I get you a size 12 or 14?" I was stunned. She knows full well i'm a 10. And even if she wasn't sure, wouldn't you just ask what size to get than make a guess? Other little gems she's said to my baby include "you're starting to look more like your mummy now- with those chubby cheeks" and "are you competeing with your Mummy with that extra roll on your tummy?"

    Is she being a *** or am I just sensitive?

  • Re: God, my MIL's a ***!

    She is being a complete cowbag! Ignore her. xx

  • Re: God, my MIL's a ***!

    blimey - she's nice isn't she!  Being a size 10 I can't imagine you have any rolls or chubby cheeks.  I assume your MIL is perfect in every way without so much of an ounce of extra weight anywhere...

    oh dear, she sounds like my nan who invariably says have you put on weight? when i see her or if not that then that skirt makes you look fat! some people just don't think before they open their mouths.

  • Re: God, my MIL's a ***!

    I would cull her! Seriously...

    Grr! She'd have a field day with my fat backside if I was her DIL! 

    Sounds just like to FIL who said to me "Have you tried to shift some weight?" Angry I've told Mr Rusty that I'm not travelling to see them anymore. He can take M when I am working at the weekend or they can come to me. I'm no longer doing 180 mile round trips just to get insulted. 

  • Re: God, my MIL's a ***!

    how rude!!! ignore her xx

  • Re: God, my MIL's a ***!

    My MIL once said exactly the same thing and even took it a step further to take a tape measure to my waist as she 'wasn't sure if a skirt I've seen would fit'!  I even went to the extent of deliberatly leaving my washing on the radiators with the tags hanging out so she could see the size on them.

    I'm sure she's disappointed that I've not put on much weight in pregnancy considering her own daughter was huge following a comment on how some women hold more water than others. They're funny oddities at times, ignore her or make a similar comment back.

    No you are not being sensitive she is defintely being the ***!

  • Re: God, my MIL's a ***!

    Oh mjy word. I agree - how can you have 'rolls of fat' if you're a size 10?? She must just be a complete and utter cow! Ignore her.

    Thats a good point actually, when went on holiday in August (4 months post birth) they stayed at our house to look after our dogs and she did all our washing (which annoyed me, who wants people rumagging through their dirty undies!) so she must have noticed the labels. Anyway, we do an exercise class together and I regularly update her on my weight loss. I told her on Wednesday that i'd dropped below 9st.

    Glad its not just me being sensitive. I wouldn't be so bothered if I thought she genuinely got my size wrong but I really believe she was being spiteful.

    MIL's can been horrific sometimes (or all the time in my case). Totally out of order saying that, she's obviously just being a cow. 

    Mine asked me once how my diet was going, to which I replied I wasn't on a diet and she said, oh well, you should be! Surprise LOL rude old bat! 

  • Re: God, my MIL's a ***!

    OMG how rude.

    She is being an @rse of the highest order. My mother in law in 4ft 11 and can fit into age 9-10 clothes.

    I'm 5ft 9 and when I stood next to her in a pair of heels which meant I was near on 6ft she said very loudly at a party "god, you're massive aren't you" They just don't think!
