[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm currently at my parents' beach house with DH and our baby, my sister and her family, and my parents.

This morning, I took three frozen waffles for breakfast, and my mom went nuts.  She called me fat and selfish and told me those were for the kids.  Then she grabbed two of them and put them back in the box in the freezer.

We don't get along very well but this was beyond awful, even for her.  Yes, I'm overweight.  But I'm nursing an infant.  I'm starving all the time, and I hadn't eaten for over 12 hours.  And I hate being treated like a fat child.  No one ever told me the food in the house was just for the kids, so how would I know?  Everyone else has been snacking on everything that's not nailed down, so I don't think it's because I ate something she bought, at leas that's never been an issue when we've visited before.

Would you go home over this? I don't even know how to deal with her otherwise.[/quote]

My mom behaves the same way, treats me the same way. It does make me feel better I am not the only one. In your case, I would get in the car and go out to breakfast, stop at the store buy food for your family and write your names on the food. I would replace the frozen waffles with a new box. I would not bother inviting your mother to breakfast, she clearly is not hungry. [/quote]
