Dear Abby: I'm the same size I've always been, and my in-laws need to shut up about it

I am a 66-year-old woman, married with two daughters. I am 5-foot-2 and weigh 108 pounds. This is not something new. But whenever there is a gathering with my in-laws, at least one of them says I need to put meat on my bones in those exact words. I think it's rude and offensive. I am certainly not telling any of them to take meat off their bones. I cannot help my size, metabolism or genetics, and I am tired of the comments.

Miss Manners: She won't shut up about how fat I am. I'm 9 months pregnant!

Every time, I jokingly make a bet with my husband on how long she will last before making a rude comment about how much weight I've gained. She said I was fat when I was in great shape. She said I was fat when I was carrying baby weight from giving her two perfect grandchildren. Before we visited her last summer, I worked hard and lost some weight.
