[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh that sucks. I think you already know that you cannot leave mil with your baby unattended. Period. And mil already knows that she is fat.[b] Like debilitating fat.[/b] But, unfortunately, it does need to be communicated to mil that you do not feel comfortable with her caring for (or even handling) baby by herself. I think you are past any sort of "mil, you need to lose weight" conversation. [/quote]

That is the best.phrase.ever.  [b]Debilitating fat. [/b] I wonder when regular fat crosses the line into debilitating.  When you can't walk a block without getting winded?  Or when you need to ride in one of those scooters?[/quote]

You guys can mock all you want, but my parents are also obese with joint disease (not from the obesity but exacerbated by it) and at a certain point you have to move beyond the illness being the excuse.  The real issue in my family is their arthritis, but the effect is exactly what OP describes.  My parents know their limits and I accommodate them, but OP is not an asshole for asking how to handle someone who is putting their own pride or denial over the safety of her infant.[/quote]
