[quote=Anonymous]This is not a debate about whether or not OP's child needs a change in diet. That is a separate issue, and one for OP/her DH alone to consider. This is a discussion about whether or not it is ever appropriate for a MIL, other extended family member, friend, etc. to make a comment TO A CHILD about her weight, and using a nasty term like "fatty" to do it. If my MIL did this I'd rip her a new one. Completely unacceptable to guilt a child about her weight and body image, not to mention to model use of rude language. If MIL had a real concern about child's health, she could go to OP/DH (which would probably also be pretty inappropriate, but wouldn't expose the child to her petty BS).[/quote]
