Thank KD. I remember your kind posts from the last time I was here complaining about my SIL and the "fat" kid comment. I'm not usually a whiner and this problem is small in the big scheme of things but it is bugging the h##l out of me as I do not like to be controled by my MIL. Her manipulation is so clear to me but my husband is bogged down by emotion so he can't see it!
