[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I truly have no words.  My husband was there, too, and said nothing.  We are at our house and they are visiting from out of town.

I know I should have said something at that moment, but I was just caught so off-guard.  She often makes comments about what I eat (I weigh about 12 pounds more than I did when I got married 13 years ago) and what other adults eat, but this is the first time she said anything about my kids.  According to my MIL, I always make waaayyy too much food and, once, when I told her the chicken piccata I was making was Ree Drummond's recipe (Pioneer Woman) she looked at me and smirked and said, "Ewww.  Her food is so fatty and so gross."

[b]I'm going to go and have a talk with my husband right now. [/b]

The saddest part of all of this is that my mother who was just incredible passed away a few years ago.  My kids and I are now stuck with this.

I was totally with you until this part.

She said it and you're going to "have a talk with your husband?" WTF?

The talk you need to have is with her. In no uncertain terms she will be told never to utter such a remark again to you or your children, or to anyone else ABOUT you or your children. And if she ever DOES do that again, she will be seeing a lot LESS of you and her grandchildren going forward.

You deliver that message, not your husband. Or, ideally, you do it together. United front.[/quote]
