You'd never believe what my Grandmother-in-law said!
During Easter dinner I stood up from the table to reach something behind us. GIL bellows out "Gee Sara, it looks like your behind sure is bigger than your front!"
Now mind you she's legally blind so I didn't take it personally but sheesh!

I hear ya. My FIL is 82 and has no filter. He's like Sophia from the Golden Girls with his insults - 'cept he's not funny.
DMoney will be a kickass big sister
There are many times that my MIL doesn't have a filter...I've just learned not to take her seriously on those occasions.
My grandmother has no filter and never has! When my mom was like 8 or 9 she told her she was like crisco, fat in the can.
Whenever she talks about someone she always refers to them based off their physical features, it's horrible. She lives in assisted living now and one of the ladys that she is eats with is very overweight. We all know her name is Joyce but my grandmother only refers to her as the fat one! It's awful.
I'm scared about what she'll say to me when I fly up to NJ this weekend to celebrate her 90th birthday!
I told my grandmother I was pregnant this weekend, shes 86 and has a terrible memory so I knew I would have to tell her in person and show her in order for her to remember, and I told her and she said, I thought you looked big, well now you'll get nice and fat....and I just said, hopefuly...lol...she insults everyone so I guess I shouldnt take it to heart
while at the drug store the other day.. my Great Great Grandmother who is 88 said to me... I didn't even know that was you jessie... your face is getting a lot fatter!!! i thought only your belly was sopose to get bigger!!!!!!! jeez nanny how nice.... she then says.. but you do look good!!!!...
funny thing is i have acutally lost weight so far!!!!!
Seems everyone i tell says... well she is 88..... Umm that's doesn't matter!!! it doesn't give you the right to be down right rude!!!!!!
i feel for yah
After I got married my husband's step-mothers' mother told me that marriage was treating me good because I had gained some weight...especially in my booty. I found it so offensive. Even more so because I was loading up my plate for Thanksgiving dinner. ugh. Mind you I was probably only 120lbs at the time and perfectly healthy. DH said not to be offended because she probably just thought I was too skinny before. Some people just don't have a filter.
I feel awkward every time I see my MIL since the start of my pregnancy because she always tells me I don't look pregnant. (I don't yet.) She's the only one who says that and I just really don't know how to respond. I usually say, Uh thanks. Which she has to ask if I FEEL pregnant. Well duh.
I believe it. Only because my GIL is 93 and says the "darndest things." The first time she met me (I'm a pasty white Irish girl) she said "I was really hoping Eric would meet a nice Italian girl from Church.
