Gee screw the kind of honesty.

I chuckle it on your mom’s age but she essentially says to her daughter she is so fat that she looks pregnant. Being honest? Like did you ask your mom “did I look pregnant!”

What do you think was her agenda in saying that? I sure wouldn’t think someone said that to me because they had to share “painful truth”. Why? What’s the point of that truth? Like I don’t want to hear it!

I’d say it’s morally wrong to make offensive comments for no reason no matter if it’s honest. If someone told me when I was heavier I looked pregnant id not care if they are just being honest! I’d consider it wrong!! Not like there’s serious life and death issue like you are 600lb and they trying to save you from dying. Fat shaming IS morally wrong! Making the kind of comments IS morally wrong. And there is ton of research how such weight/looks comments affect people. .

But again in older age some people lose boundaries and that’s your family so I’d not hold grudge but please realize it’s not ok.
