[quote=Anonymous]OP, where is your husband in all of this? I know that DCUM thinks each member of a couple should handle his or her parents, but I disagree. If someone were berating my partner for his physical appearance, I'd be going for their jugular unless they stopped when told to do so by my partner the first time. I don't care who they are. Bullies like your dad also respond better to a man-to-man talk. So, in my opinion, your husband should take him aside even before the comments start and tell him: "Tom, I know that Mary is your daughter, but she's also my wife and I do not allow people to hurt her. So, gving her crap about her weight is not OK. We want to have a nice visit and we want you to enjoy your grandkids. It's up to you. Either you shape up and shut up about her body, or I will personally toss your stuff out of the window and escort you out of our home. Don't test me, because I'm serious about this."[/quote]
