My daughter came home from college and visited her granny ..said lady asked her if liked sweets ie telling her she overweight I was fuming my girl has great body not skinny but toned however I was angry as she knows poor girl has mummy with cancer etc .could she not have been delighted to see her and say well done on finishing degree my girl in tears ..I hate this woman now and my Hubble just not saying anything ..I feel ready to box her one ..my girl worked so hard to get degree and is in process to qualify as teacher she is beautiful ..came back in tears what is this woman I’m shocked we have enough to deal with ad family and I’m soo angry with her dad why did he not say something …ggggrrr
So sorry your daughter is so upset, people can be very cruel, sometimes not understanding the impact of their words. I hope you can encourage your daughter to put it behind her and focus on her success
Thanks I certainly have encouraged her since her dad was mortified but some people just speak without thinking deep down I don’t think her granny meant any harm r didn’t realise the hurt just a bad time to be saying stupid things anyway thank god we can vent away on this site and people understand …I’m cranky enough at times lol
