The last time my MIL visited us, she kept going on about how my 3 year old is losing weight (she isn't, at least not according to her pedi). I kept my cool for the first 5 mentions and politely told her that we have her weighed regularly, but then finally on day 2 of her visit, I felt something snap inside me. For about the 8th time, she told me my daughter is losing weight and that I should not restrict how many sweets I give her. I told her "what can I do to convince you that she is not losing weight? Would you like to weigh her yourself? Do you think that I would put her on a diet?"

She immediately back tracked and said that he just says these kind out of habit. But my husband got mad that I was rude to his mom.

The problem is that she is always like that - if it's not one issue, it's another. Just just does not know when to back off. She arrives tonight for a 3 day visit - I will work hard to stay in my "happy place" the whole time. But now I am anxious that I will lose it again.

Any thoughts?
