Her Mother-In-Law Is Making Mean Comments About Her Weight While Visiting Her And Her Husband So She Wants To Kick Her Out To Stay In A Hotel
A 31-year-old woman is married to her husband, who is the same age as her, and they’ve spent the last decade together.
Her mother-in-law lives across the country, and she and her husband video call her mother-in-law every couple of weeks.
Her mother-in-law hasn’t been able to visit them in a while, but she recently booked her flight to come to visit them, and her mother-in-law expected to stay with her and her husband in their apartment.
One week prior to her mother-in-law’s arrival, she was on a video call with her and her husband when her mother-in-law commented on how “round” her face looks and that she must have gained weight.
“I was really taken aback and tried to brush it off thinking I must have misheard her,” she explained.
“Still, it bothered me and I kept thinking about it for the week before her arrival. I was angry because I now felt self-conscious and afraid of further criticism.”
Then, the day came that her mother-in-law was flying into town. She and her husband got to the airport to pick up her mother-in-law, and as soon as they saw her in the airport, she was back at it again; making her feel bad about her weight.
As soon as she saw her mother-in-law, she got looked up and down, and her mother-in-law was clearly judging her.
They all left the airport and arrived back at the apartment. Barely an hour into her mother-in-law walking through the door of her home, her mother-in-law was making mean comments about her weight.

“Not even an hour since her arrival, with all three of us on the sofa together, she says past me and to my husband, “[my name] sure has put on a lot of weight, hasn’t she?” As though I wasn’t even there,” she said.
Right after her mother-in-law made that awful remark, she confronted her and let her know that what she said was nasty and uncalled for.
She couldn’t believe her mother-in-law was doing this to her, in what should have been the comfort of her own space.
The morning after this all happened, she attempted to remain calm and collected, but she was furious with her mother-in-law.
“I asked my husband to tell her to get a hotel and that he’s welcome to visit her, but I’m not going to be treated poorly in my own house and she can’t stay here,” she continued.
“My husband is upset at me because he feels like he’s trapped in the middle, but I don’t see why I should have to put up with these comments.”
She’s left wondering if she has a right to feel so upset or if she’s blowing this all out of proportion. What do you think?
