Was I wrong to shout at my dad?

My ds was at my parents as usual today and my dad brought him home.
He started making remarks over my weight, saying that I was a porker, could cause an earthquake etc.
I ashamed to say I lost my cool and started to cry, telling him it hurt when he says these things, that I'm trying to loose weight and he should not be so critical when I've got a history of depression and stress.
I feel really guilty for shouting at him. Should I apologise?

God no, he should apologise to you

NO!! He should realise how insensitive and hurtful he's been and he should apologise to you!

VoluptuaGoodshag · 16/06/2007 19:35

How insensitive! No you were not wrong. He should be apologising to you

WigWamBam · 16/06/2007 19:38

Hell, no! Whatever for?

Would you want to apologise if it had been anyone else other than your dad? It's probably only because it was your parents that makes you feel guilty.

no, he should.

He did try to apologise. My family are not the most...how do I put this..communicative (is that a word?!) at the best of times.
The thing that bothers me is I'm not huge I'm 6 ft tall and about 13 stone. A size 12-14. A little flabby around the middle after ds but now he's at school full time I can get back to a half-decent fitness regime.
Thanks for the replies. I feel a little better although that maybe due to the eye candy in POTC 3. (watching it on the net!)

No dont apologise, but do you think he was saying it to hurt you, or just joking around with you, im sure he wasnt trying to make you upset, just didnt think bout how much it would hurt. He's a man they dont stop to think most of the time.
