How to kindly ask MIL to stop taking about weight
I dearly love my mother-in-law. She’s wonderful, kind, and a fantastic grandmother to my children. However, she has this thing about always talking about weight. I’m sure it’s a hang-up from her past, but it’s not something I feel like discussing for a number of reasons. We will be staying with them on vacation for a week coming up and every day she brings up her weight.
I have a teenage daughter. I don’t want to influence her relationship with food by hearing things like “I’ve been eating too much, when I get home I’m going to have to cut back.” (Last year my daughter did pick up on this and kind of parroted it.)
It’s just not something I feel interested in discussing or care about. I feel like I’m in a minefield. Do you agree and offend? Do you deny and lie? It’s an uncomfortable and unimportant subject to me.
How can I kindly ask her to to refrain from discussing her weight?
