katnl21 tells us more.
It was really offensive for her to say something like that. My mom and grandfather and boyfriend were in the room too, which made it even more humiliating. I didn't know what to say, I was in shock. My boyfriend led her out of the room, so the visit ended right then and there. I haven't seen or spoken to her since, and she hasn't seen her grand child either. I'm still working on an awesome comeback speech, I'm open to suggestions!

Wow. I'm so sorry. It's not like she immediately went to perfect figure either, she shouldn't expect that from you. That's not even possible.
Congratulations!! **** that bitch you have a newborn to snuggle!!
My mother in law wants nothing to do with her grandchildren. She just does not like me because I married and had children with her son. Her negativity got so bad my husband stopped talking with her for months. When they started talking again she was a complete and total bitch. The worse thing though is when my husband told her that we're expecting our second child all she said was, "Oh. Wow." My advice is love your husband. You don't have to give two ***** about your Monster In Law.
OMG You're so cool and everyone wants to be like you...
Actually, skylabee231, it's her life and her body, and she can do whatever she damn well pleases with either. You judging her by your own unnecessarily smug yardstick is completely uncalled for.
Leave skylabee alone, kenjenkei. You're distracting her from her healthy eating and exercising.
I didn't do shit and ate all kinds of crap and I'm almost back at my pre-pregnancy weight. Without ANY exercise. But I'm not that much of a jerk that I assume other women have it as easy as me. Quit being an ass.
Why aren't you just the smug, judgemental little ball of sunshine and joy? Wow, you were one of those lucky people that had a pregnancy that went well, little weight gain and snapped right back afterwards. Congratulations on having the genes to enable that as well. Forgot that plays a role too hey? I am a smaller body type as well. My first child I gained 55lbs, I ate very healthy, had a job where I was on my feet moving all day, went for walks and kept moving. I just gained that weight no matter what. The doctor wasn't concerned because I started off at a lighter weight. I didn't snap back to pre-preg weight. I am a tad lazy. it took a year and a half. I weirdly ended up a smaller size and weight. My second child, I gained 75lbs. Again, ate very healthy, was chasing a toddler, college classes, but exercise wasn't an option due to extreme back issues. But, because again, I started off at what my doctor considered the low weight range for my height, they were not concerned...I was still healthy. After I exercised and and at 8 months was actually, weirdly again, even smaller than pre-preg weight and size....I lost my boobs!!! grrr. But....I do not contribute my smaller size after to a smug "look at me, I ate healthy blah blah and you should too, there is no excuse." NO. I am very very aware that I LUCKED OUT with genetics in my favour for that. And I thank my parents for that. Your attitude is what makes other new moms feel like shit about themselves when they should be happy and concentrating on resting and bonding.
The two are not exactly mutually exclusive. Just sayin'.
Was she in a coma throughout her entire pregnancy with your spouse and therefore has no clue how pregnancy and birth work? Put your foot down on making sure she isn't allowed to visit. You just brought home a newborn you squished heroically out of your own vag, you don't need her shit too.
congrats on your baby

That's a little insensitive to you. Should have told her, " I just had a kid, what's your excuse ?".
I suggest just flat out ignore her. You don't need your child growing up around people like that. She will realize sooner or later that you control when she sees her grandchild and she'll regret being so nasty to you. Congrats on the baby though!
