My grandma once told me she thought I was going to be a serial killer.

My grandfathers newest wife commented I looked larger than last time she saw me. I was left standing there, mouth open in shock she said that.

I know how bad grandparents can be. Mine forgot who I was when me and my parents went to visit her foe Christmas a few years ago. She kicked all of us out of her house and if it hadn't have been for one of my mom's friends who lived three hours away from my grandmother we would have been homeless in a state where the only family we had didn't want anything to do with us. But we made it back to our home state.

You're really pretty OP. Don't let her get to you.

I thought your face looked familiar then I look on your profile and I realized we are from the same town that's so weird. what a small world.

Aww Hun, I know how you feel. My grandmother has also never had a filter, and once she walked into my house after having not seen my brother and I in about a month, and the first thing she said was "___!!! You've gained 20 pounds since I last saw you!" I was 12, at the time, and I'd actually lost 5 pounds in fat, though I do have a lot of weight in muscle mass. Now?, my grandmother is somewhat of a hypocrite, as she is a very large woman (not by choice, it's genetics, and losing fat left her with empty skin, but she is still very large), yet she is always criticizing and yelling at my cousins, and my mom and I about our weight.

I just took a look at your profile pictures, and I honestly think you're a pretty girl! Don't let grandma's words get to you, OP!

Op, as you can see from the comments, grandparents are sometimes assholes even if it's not on purpose. Between all my cousins I am the "fattest" one, always have been, and my grandmother NEVER hesitated to make some sort of comment on it. But it's okay, I'm fine with my body, I know I'm not fat and neither are you. Naturally, I went through your photos and you are very pretty and NOT AT ALL FAT. People just throw "fat" all around to anyone who's not a size 0. So just never mind the hurtful comments regardless of whom it came from. :)

My grandmother always comments on my weight. It's really annoying. It's harder to handle when it's coming from a grandparent, because you expect them to be ones to spoil you with treats and awesome food!

That doesn't sound like someone being rude. That just sounds like dementia or something.

On my mom's side we tend to be heavier. Neither grannies have filters either so I feel your pain. my dad's mom has no tact. but she usually has us rolling so I don't get offended. I'm use to it.

#76, old people are capable of being rude without it being a mental health issue :P Also, I'm glad you at least got an apology, OP :) As we all know on FML: old people can be brutal! :P You're a beautiful girl and I truly hope you can move on from having body issues

My family has always been beefier, and I am no acception- but one year I gained some weight when I was going through a period of depression. One day my grandma walked up and handed me a pregnancy test and told me to take it. The next day she asked if I took it by saying "are you knocked up or just fat?"

After having my daughter my grandmother would constantly nag me about wearing a "girdle" so that I would slim down again. I wore one pretty regularly but every time I saw her she would say "I see you haven't been taking my advice" She even called me once before our lunch to make sure I was putting makeup on! Lol it bothered me at first but I honestly know now that she meant well but didn't know how to get certain messages across.

Ugh, I realize I used acception instead of exception, my apologies. It was nearing two in the morning after a long and painful day.

It's not part of genetics, gaining weight is a simple calculation of gaining calories and 'burning' calories. You ate probably more because your mom did. The only part the can be caused by genetics is the laziness and not having the will to work out. So instead of that your life sucks, you can do something about your weight! To end with a quote of Perry Cox(im a big scrubs fan): Call me a hater, I don't care, because I do believe in it. Ps: while im talking about scrubs, watch My Boss' free haircut, maybe that will help you!

You're not even close to needing to lay off the cookies! I think maybe your grandma needs glasses. They say that vision is one of the first things to go, when getting old!

I know your feels. My grandpa is the same way. He calls my step sister and I heffer all the time. Comments, even made not intending to hurt, do.
