WTF IL's?

Today they called DH to ask if he was upset with them because we decided to take the kids and go away for the weekend. Friday is DHs bday and we're both off so we're leaving tomorrow night. MIL was complaining because she makes a cake every year and wanted us to hang out at her house all day Sunday. Wahh wahh wahh.
They always make me feel like Bailey isn't good enough. They've been talking about how she should be walking at 7 months (because DH was running at 7 months-lies I'm sure) since she was born. Well MIL was asking if she's walking yet when she called and DH said no and she went on about how her coworkers kid is 2 days younger and walked.
We went to their house tonight and DH mentioned Bailey being tall. MIL said something about it possibly affecting her balance and FIL says "oh maybe that's what's wrong with her"
I got SO mad. There is NOTHING wrong with her!!! She's only 10 months old. I shouldn't let them get to me but this hurt.

Re: WTF IL's?
His dad is known for making ridiculous comments. When he made this one I got really defensive and said, "wrong with her? She's only 10 months old! There's nothing wrong with her." And he responded with something like "well, you know, why she isn't walking yet..." And I was so mad that I didn't say anything else.
Then they were trying to make her stand and walk and after a few mins I could tell Bailey was over it. But they kept going and going so I swooped in and picked her up.
They're ridiculous. I can't deal. Everytime its something else...
@BandEddie YESSSSS IFLY!!!
It's not the fact that she isn't walking that bothers me, I'm totally not worried about it and in no rush. She'll walk when she's ready (ill never be ready for that though!). It's the fact that he said "wrong with her" that made me so angry.
