    And this is why I love this community of MFP friends! You can share that the hurtful and ignorant remark amongst friends. We've all been there. One time my daughter and I were visiting my mom's elderly friend. My daughter said, "we just went out for a doughnut" and the woman said "YOU??? ate a doughnut??" Well, that just made me want to eat more. If that happened today, I would have posted it and not went for more food. Thanks for posting and thanks for caring for the sick at your job and doing what you do!!

    I understand completely! My grandmother and I were always close, and she never said a bad word to me. When she ended up in a nursing home, she became very outspoken and said anything that came to mind, rude, or not! She wasn't eating well (and was withering away), and when my sister and I flew home to visit her, we brought her some food and were trying to get her to eat - she looked at me and said, "You're just trying to make me FAT like you!" Mind you, at that point I was in my 160's - overweight, yes, and very conscious of it, but nowhere near where I am now. I still hear her comment sometimes when I am being hard on myself.

    sorry this happened to you

    there are usually a few threads every day about this very topic

    the bottom line is fairly simple.........

    there are a whole bunch of really stupid people on this planet

    they may not be "rude" or cruel, but are just stupid

    if we think that they are being rude or cruel on purpose, it seems to hurt more but usually they are just stupid

    when you remember that they are just stupid, you change from feeling hurt to feeling thankful that you are not that stupid

    True dat

    Darn, what a heartless lady. Who says that to someone like that. That is a very sensitive and personal subject.

    My mama would call that "low class". And in the south that has nothing to do with money. ..and every thing to do with how you treat people. So sad that he is such a poor, miserable little worm that he makes himself feel better by trying to make other people feel bad.

    So not cool. Keep at what you're doing. Whatever their problem is, it's their problem.

    That's terrible! I would have given her my stock answer "do me a favor? Take your shoe off and smack yourself upside the head."

    ... 'Really, why don't you lose weight, is there something wrong with you?'

    I just don't know about some people...

    My standard response to that type of thing is, 'That was incredibly rude of you, you must be so embarrassed.'

    Perfect response!
