If you posted a picture of you and your family eating a roast dinner (me, husband and 2 daughters) and your MIL commented “What has happened to your diet?!?!?” Ok, fair enough I am In the overweight category (was obese and have now lost 5 and a half stone over the past year!) what would you say in reply? Husband laughed and said she was “only joking and not to take it personally” but I think it’s rude! To be fair she’s always commenting on everybody and what they do etc. Surely this is bad manners?!?!?

@EveryDayIsADuvetDay

Is posting a picture of you and your family eating a meal inviting comment?
A teenage girl posting a photo isn’t an invitation for the MIL to make a comment to the OP

What happened to your manners?

Please post this, OP. It will make you feel SO much better.
