This bothers my MIL to know end.  She doesn’t understand genetics is gamble and seems like it’s my personal wrongdoing that we have a petite son and above average daughter.

You can't take it?   I'm a GP, MIL, aunt, and all that.  Fact is one of my co MIL inexplicably started loudly and cruelly criticizing her own young adult daughter at a family dinner.

Next time she was starting was told to stop ASAP quietly and firmly.  You and your DH have voices- use them.

Bullying persists?  Constant intercession.  [/quote]
