[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good timing. My ILs just arrived for the week and before even saying hello MIL commented on my weight, dh's weight, and the physique of one of our kids. Shortly thereafter when I pulled out deli turkey, carrots and pretzels for lunch, she bragged about how she basically only eats yogurt all day when she is home. Are we supposed to be ashamed that we .... wait for it ... actually eat?? quelle horreur![/quote]

My mil does this too.  All the time.  [b]Brags about how little she eats/what she eats[/b]. It drives us all crazy.[/quote]

She must post here.[/quote]

This is also my MIL. She eats practically nothing in part because she's not very mobile due to many health problems and doesn't expend much energy. She cannot understand that most of us require more than a few hundred calories per day. She comments on everyone's weight, whether they're eight months or 80 years old, thin or heavy. She's always had the weight obsession but it's gotten worse since her own health has declined.

My in-laws also have had the same housekeeper since DH was a kid. She's a very nice lady and they pay her ridiculously well, but she's  not at all good at her job. I can never tell when she's been there because the place still looks dirty after she leaves. DH and his siblings have discussed paying for a legitimate cleaning company, and also volunteered to clean the place themselves on a rotating basis, but my in-laws won't hear of it. [/quote]
