We had dinner with my in laws and it went exactly how it always goes.
My mother in law criticized my parenting. My father in law made a joke about my weight. My husband stared at his plate like maybe the mashed potatoes would defend me.
I sat there for forty five minutes trying to be polite.
Then she said my daughter would behave better if I was more consistent, and something in my brain just went nope.
I stood up, grabbed my purse and left. No goodbye. No fake smile. Nothing.
My husband stayed another hour and says I embarrassed him.
Interesting, because nobody seemed worried about embarrassing me.
Now the comments get a turn.
