I am furious. My eldest DD went abroad to a family wedding with my parents a few weeks ago and she's been a bit quiet since she got home. Anyway, tonight she finally spilled the beans. My mum had been an utter bitch the whole time- told her she was overweight (she's not at all!!!) and had inherited the 'fat gene', didn't like her choice of clothes, refused to let her have a glass of wine (even though she's 18!!!) sulked if my DD wanted to mingle and just generally made it a miserable trip. All of these comments were made in front of other people and my DD says she felt utterly humiliated.

This feels like the final straw (we haven't had the best relationship anyway) and I am so angry on my DD's behalf I really feel like stopping speaking to her altogether. I just cannot believe a grown woman would behave like this!!

AIBU or would you feel as furious as I do now?

Its hard for grandchildren to say to their grandparents that they are annoyed.Kids are brought up to tespect them.Id say something to my mother if my child was upset.I dont think it makes any diffetence how old your DD is.If she wanted to say something about her appearance she should say it nicely not in public.
