So I recently moved with my husband and baby to his hometown… too close to my m-i-l. She’s a real tough bird, this one.
A few days after I had a C-section, she called to see how I was doing. Naively, I told her the truth — that I was in pain, and my lower back was hurting. Very normal for such a major surgery, I would think. She then calls my husband’s cell and because her voice is so very loud (and irritating), I can hear her every word. She tells him my back is probably hurting because — get this — I’m overweight and that I should really do something about it.
WTF, lady, I just delivered your grandson!

Yes, you could reply, “I’m dropping (insert her weight here) pounds of ugly MIL”
I am assuming your MIL is a Twiggy-type of woman? If not, sweetly ask her if her mirrors at home are cracked!
I love this site, so needed to discover it today. And no, she’s no Twiggy — more like a hefty tree. And apparently she’s forgotten all about childbirth.
You need to call your husband when HE is visiting HER and say, very loudly, into the phone, that MIL needs a BRAIN TRANSPLANT. And ask him when she has scheduled herself to get one.
A “hefty tree?” SO…if a MIL is bumped off in the forest, does anyone care?
Ask her if her face hurts…cause it’s killing you!
Stoopid old cow
I’ve been fat and lazy since the day I had kids, don’t listen to her….they talk just to be heard…no one is really listening!
That’s when you should have grabbed the phone off him and told her that if she had something to say to say it to your face. These kind of MIL’s need to be stopped dead in their tracks. Shut down once and for all. LOL
Phone her today and tell her you’ve lost weight. When she asks how much, insert her weight. See how long it takes her to get it.
I’d tell her that you can go on a diet and lose all the weight but how is she going to lose ugly!
Wow, that is ridiculous, you DONT tell a woman she is fat. Coming from a MOTHER in law… since they know everything… i cant believe she said that to you!
