[quote=Anonymous]My MIL is from abroad and I am not. I think there are some cultural issues that make some of the things she says ok to her ears and really awful to mine. Language is not an issue because she's from a place where English is learned concurrently with the native language. Anyway, so I don't explode from holding it in, here is what she said about my daughter, who is 18 mos: "Her hands are really big. Like, really big. Even Uncle says they are bigger than any other kids' hands." Me: "are you saying that she has giant hands? And that people can see this from photos?" Her: "they're definitely bigger than any other kids hands." (My daughter has normal to small hands based on a recent mitten shopping excursion but I did notice that MIL has total Trump hands) Sorry for the random vent but it was too weird to let it go unheard by others. Please share your odd, slightly hurtful but funny MIL comments so I can get through their visit. [/quote]
