My partners family always laugh at my feet and it’s given me a complex no1 else has really mentioned it just them…. My family say there is nothing wrong with my feet. Anyway today I sent a picture of my daughter who is 1 trying to walk but my foot was in it and now they have been forwarding the picture on with my foot circled. And sent back some pictures of really horrible feet to me. So I deleted the picture from the group. I feel upset by it I would never make personal comments about them or laugh at them behind there back.

There's nothing wrong with your foot, it's a perfectly decent foot, and even if there was, you'd have to be an utter twat to mock other people's appearances. Not to mention doing it constantly.

That said, I'm not sure why you would send a cute pic of your kid with a foot in it. Surely you're familiar with 'crop'?

Hahah I didn’t notice my foot in it till they pointed it out. It the first time she has stood up and she has had lots of hip problems so I just took the pic quick and then she fell on her bum a second later

What the fuck is wrong with these people? There's absolutely nothing odd about your feet, and even if there were, they are being horrible and nasty. What does your partner say about all this? Has he not confronted them about this?

Feel free to tell all of them to fuck off. I wouldn't have a single thing to do with these idiots. You don't need that kind of toxic rubbish in your life.

There is nothing wrong with your foot, but there is definitely something wrong with these people. What a bunch of losers!

There’s nothing wrong with your foot. They are obviously vile people with very small minds.
Now if they really want to see something horrible I can send them photos of mine. They’ll have nightmares 😧

Your feet actually look nice though?! Mine are really messed up from years of high heels. Mine are crooked with bunions. Not nice of them anyway.

Honestly op your foot just looks like a foot. I'm genuinely curious what the their feet must look like if they think yours are unusual.

I would say laugh it off but its a bit sad to read that it was a snapshot of a milestone moment and that's what they chose to discuss instead

Thank you all 4 taking the time to reply to my foot problem. Posts have really cheered me up.

This is actual adults? How horrible and childish. Your foot looks 100% normal. And nicer than a lot of feet!
Do tell your partner. You’re not being petty at all, they are deliberately upsetting you and he needs to know they’re doing this.

Can't see anything wrong with your foot. I know a girl who has a toe sitting above all other toes on each foot.

No one I know of has ever made fun of them.

Brefugee · 02/08/2022 08:08

There's nothing wrong with your foot. Leave the group and let your partner keep them supplied with photos etc.

If you feel up to it, before you leave the group tell them they are bullies and setting a bad example for younger people in the family.

Takeitonthechin · 02/08/2022 08:48

Seriously..... your partners family are rude and you need to start pointing out their imperfections
