[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you should have made a plan with your DH ahead of time and given him a script about what he could and could not say to his parents when they called, because otherwise this was a no win situation for him. Have him call them back and say "Just a heads up, Jane is feeling very sensitive about being laid off (use the words "laid off") and so I have to ask you not to joke or talk about it unless she brings it up." But you need to realize that in some families, little jokes ARE a way of being supportive and a way of being positive. Can you maybe find a way of reframing their remarks. For example, the sugar daddy remark. Isn't that their somewhat awkward way of saying you can depend on DH?[/quote]
