Thanks For Your Input

My MIL frequently comments on my weight when we visit her house. "Oh, you look like you've gained weight!", "Aren't you getting a bit fat?", "Do you think you should be eating THAT?"

Ugh, she really doesn't have a filter when it comes to commenting on people's bodies, not just mine. It's very inappropriate and makes everyone uncomfortable.

She also comments on my choices in other aspects of my life, like my apparently hideous curtains which she only has to look at if she comes to my house to visit.

"What do you mean you're not getting married in a church?!?! How will you baptize your children??" (Knowing that we are not religious, will not be baptizing our children, and may not even have children at all)

Wedding planning brought out the beast in her for sure since my hubby is an only child.

"You HAVE to wear heels, you can't wear ugly shoes like those!!" (after showing her the beautiful flats I had chosen)

We brought her with us to see our venue the day we made our deposit, thinking that she would be happy to be included, but she was just sour and moody the whole time we were there. She wouldn't answer any questions or ask anything about the venue. She was probably upset that we weren't getting married in a church so the ceremony and reception were all taking place at the same location.

In regards to pant size "Oh my god, you're a size 10?! That's my size! When did you get so fat??" (I was in so much disbelief at the hypocrisy that I didn't even comment on this one)

"Well you know that men don't know anything about cooking or laundry, so you should do all of that for my son" (He does the laundry, and he's very good at it... He doesn't like to cook but when he does it's also very good.)
