DPs Grandad told me my arse has got massive...

[Stargirl17]

At a family party last night.

I’m 28 weeks, I’ve not got a huge bump yet but I have put weight on my bum/thighs.

I don’t know why it’s bothering me so much but it’s made me feel really shit :( don’t know why people think it’s ok to comment on people’s bodies!

Did you tell him his manners seem to have diminished at the same speed?

My GMIL called me a pig while heavily pregnant because when she asked 'how many eggs?', I said two because I wasn't eating much meat. Yep. Apparently that makes me a pig !

I just laughed it off, wish I had said something back to him! He’s usually lovely so I was caught off guard, but it is very rude. I’d never dream of saying anything like that to someone.

Frozen - that’s horrible!

She always does it quietly as well so not everyone can hear. My husband says 'she's just old'. Before I was pregnant if I ate anything in front of her she would say 'you'll get fat!'

I hate going there now and if I can help it I won't eat. Or I eat very little

@FrozenMargarita17 that's bloody horrible!! I'd have 4 eggs pre pregnancy, if it makes you feel any better! 2 is nothing!

The thing is I've not figured out what to do about it. I try to grin and bear it. And see them less.

Ignore what he said, he was rude and inconsiderate. I'm sure you look lovely.

My GMIL has a track record of other rude behaviour so I just try to be the bigger person when I see her.

@scrappysquirrel I really thought that being pregnant would stop her rudeness about my weight but apparently not! Haha.

Star when are you seeing him again?

Frozen if it’s a buffet say make room at the trough quite loudly then if she says anything say oink then explain that’s pig talk for thank you.

What do your partners say? Do they hear the unkind remarks?

I probably offended MIL yesterday. I walked in and she looked and me and said "You're definitely getting bigger". Told her everyone said that and rolled my eyes.

It is not OK to comment on someone's weight ever! If she'd said that bump is growing then I'd have been less upset about it.

Rude! Although if it makes you feel better I’m 26 weeks and this this is my third pregnancy and every time I get a ridiculous amount of fat on my hips/bum. It looks scary! It’s like my bum looks higher almost because of how much fat I’m laying down on my bloody hips! But it goes away afterwards.

They’re just my momma-hips. More cushion for the muffin

Some people just don't have a filter, or maybe the filter deteriorates over time.

I wouldn't worry about it as chances are he may come out with some other corkers. Just laugh it off

@FrozenMargarita17 I’d be eating as much as I could in front of her.

@LemonysSnicket I can never enjoy food with her watching now!
