Would you ever?

murphyec · May 2010

Would you ever tell your husband, in front of other people, what they cannot eat? MIL, this weekend, told FIL, with certainty and not joking, that he could NOT have another piece of cake. Then told DH, when he went to grab another piece, that he could have one more, small piece. It really really pissed me off. I wanted to go to the kitchen and grab another plate and fork and cut DH and FIL the biggest pieces imaginable just to piss her off. I would never tell my husband what he can and cannot eat, especially in front of company! I might quietly say "you are trying to lose weight, are you sure you want another piece?" but only if he asked me to keep him on track. It was very obvious that FIL did not ask for such help.

My husband would be mortified.

No

only if it was a major health issue. Like diabetes or something. My dad would always try to cheat - mom had to reign him in sometimes.

No. Nor would I ever want it done to me. I would then have the piece just to spite them.

Or, depending on the situation/company, I'd be so embarassed I would want to cry.

I have, but more because he really lacks control on his own. He's gained 50 pounds in the last two years and expresses desire to lose it and asked for me to help him. However, when we are out with people and/or drinking and he just isn't aware of what he's eating, he just does it. So I try to remind him when he's going overboard.
