[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]People do notice sizes in gifts and ascribe meaning to them. [/b]My SIL had gotten fat then lost some weight and we gave her a sweater. She cried because we gave her a medium sized sweater. She thought the gift was that we guessed she was that size LOL[/quote]

Adult women do this.

I don’t understand the impulse for people going ballistic or boycotting a family get together over this.

Yes, your mom is totally misguided and out of line, op.  Don’t make this a bigger deal than it is.

A group of people assembled in a room aren’t going to be able to see a clothing label.  No one is going to say, “oh look larlo grandma bought you a medium instead of a large because she thinks you’re fat.”

No because GRANDMA will say it. My mother would step the eff back off my child or feel the wrath. You can tolerate belittling for your kids but that’s not what I’m doing with mine. If OP decides to skip Christmas more power to her. [/quote]
