Need some opinions on how to handle this situation: Went to parents for Easter dinner with my husband and two kids. One of thier guests (a friend) mumbled under thier breath to another about my weight gain. My daughter and niece (11 & 12 yrs. old) overheard this and of course told me. I am one year out of breast cancer and have had enough of everyone's comments. Question: should I let my parents know that their guest spoke poorly about me? I have no relationship with this person but my parents do. Also, why do people think they can comment on anything they want to? Why do people feel justified passing judgement on others either to their face or behind thier back? Any thoughts would be welcome. Happy Easter!
I agree with Jo, that people say mean things because it makes them feel better about themselves. Makes you wonder what your mom's friend is so insecure about. It was incredibly rude of her to make a comment about something that doesn't even matter, especially to her!
I would definately say something to your mom about it. Your mom probably won't say anything to the friend, but at least she'll know about it. And welcome to Families, by the way!
People are mean because it makes them feel better about themselves. Speak to your mum and say it upset you. Try not to dwell on it though it. ((hugs))
I agree with Jo also let your mum know about the situation and express to her how it made you feel but don't dwell on it too much. People will always find mean things to say about a person when they are not happy about themselves. Did this person come alone or did they come wioth there family as well because if rthey came alone at least you have a family with husband and children even things like this make others jealous.
