To have 'humiliated' my MIL

[ImALurkerNotAFighter]

MIL has an awful tendency to do 'penis portions'. I'd avoided staying with her for a few years, as when breastfeeding she'd served up a tiny inadequate meal, then told me she hadn't done a plate for DS as 'he could just have some of mine' This was on top of sly little digs about my weight.
So MIL wanted us to stay this weekend so she could spend time with the DC. DH usually goes alone but apparently as I'm free this weekend it would be rude for me not to come. They very kindly babysat the asleep DC while we went to the pub. This morning MIL does breakfast for us and SIL and BIL. I get 1 small sausage, 1 half piece of bacon, 1 egg and a small slice of dry toast. MIL and SIL have similar. DH, FIL and BIL get 3 large sausages, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, beans and black pudding. I asked MIL if there was any more, she looked shocked and said no.
I was very cross at this point and walked round the table, took half the sausage, black pudding and beans off a very quiet DH to even it up (we were both left with pretty equal quantities) and sat back down.
MIL feels I have humiliated her, and 'at your size you clearly don't realise that was a proper breakfast '. I'm a size 18, so yes, fat.
I'm fuming and want to leave now. DH wants to stay and take them out for lunch as planned.
I know there are mumsnetters out there who believe the wimminz should subsist on a lettuce leaf and a sniff of meat, but sensible people of mumsnet WIBU? AIBU to pack the DC and leave?

Perhaps the FitBit allowed wine tonight?

PS if your aim is to flog fitbits you're having absolutely the opposite effect.

And I'm middle aged and far from tall and my TDEE is 1800 on a fairly chilled day. It often is 2000 or more.

I don't drive, though. Probably makes a difference.

My fingers have gone to bed already. I should follow suit.

Woah

Is FitBit some sort of MLM thing?

I expected better from them tbh

I think her portion size that she gave the women was about right but it should be the same for everyone!

What - the op is supposed to be User 'Fitbit fanatic' uber dietician?

Its bloody rude to treat anyone like this when they are an athlete in a sport. I don't care what sex they where born as, a transwomen should be treated with the same respect and agency as a woman*

Any particular reason why you are inventing quotes and attributing to me? Or are you just terminally stupid or have some need to bring trans into a thread on bad hosts having failed to flog your Fitbits?

I dont think so ohfour but marketing companies offer to promote goods and services on social media and forums by posing as users of whatever it is. Clearly this is Users first day on the job :o

Just showing you how stupid you sound to say that men and women are biologically the same, you wouldn't want a man playing in a female sport cause they are not biologically the same, it's the same with calorie expenditure.

Lweji should I really? Why's that?

I love my own fitbit. It tells me that today, after a gentle mooch around an indoor shopping centre and a brief pokewalk around the block with my teen, I've burned 1824 calories.

And, in the morning, it will probably tell me that I only properly slept 3 hours!

@ Kipper

I only stepped away to stuff my face, now I find that I've posted on some form of aggressive marketing thread that has also brought trans people into the equation.

Can't say I've ever posted on s trans thread before; I'm quite chuffed!

C8H10N4O2 User is just twisting what you said. Of course it unfortunately makes her look an idiot as she is conflating biological sex and gender.

Interesting question op if there had been a transgender person there which meal would your mil give them?

Because 9176 people will confuse you with the fuckwit you just reported.

Which of course I haven't actually done but you keep on with that crack pipe - does wonders to keep the flab at bay.

Then tomorrow go and actually read the posts, instead of posting random bollocks.

I do hope not, I don't even really properly know what a fitbit is and am sitting here eating hula hoops two at a time.

MN has gone to "User" hell....

Frankly my new policy is - no user name, no valid post. It's as if it wasn't there.

@user1487689176 but have you got the Hula hoops on every finger before biting them off, two at a time. It's the only real way to eat Hula Hoops!

Ds1 can't do that. His fingers are too big.

Because my first thought on your other post was to ask why you had reported yourself.

This thread is a masterpiece of oddness.

My MIL has solved this issue by letting everyone serve themselves from platters. My SIL is rather large - at a dinner recently, she spectacularly broke the plastic garden chair she was sitting in into a million pieces.

However, I do think portion size is the key to weight loss. It worked for me. Most people simply don't need the amount of food they take in. It's that simple. And you need to move as much as you're able.

Bizarre thread!

I am cringing at the thought of the breakfast scene. MIL, DH and OP all being so awkward. Had I been SIL or BIL, I would have got into trouble for pissing myself laughing. I bet you could have cut the atmosphere with a rusty knife.

Two things:

1. Your main problem is that you don't get on with your in laws. Sounds like you normally manage it well by avoiding their home.

1. Now I need a cooked breakfast. An English portion at that.
