There are three things you should never bring up with mixed company: politics, religion, and weight. I know this might be a controversial opinion, but I don’t think that it’s appropriate to comment on someone else’s body, whether they’re a stranger or a family member. Of course, there are specific circumstances where that doesn’t apply. If you’re wasting away or eating so much you can barely climb the stairs, family and friends should acknowledge it to support you in becoming healthier. There are many more situations where it’s totally out of line to mention if someone has gained a couple of pounds. These situations include but are not limited to, having a baby. If you can’t imagine ever pressuring a woman who is five months postpartum into losing weight, then you’re not this Redditor’s mother-in-law. She not only made sly comments about her weight but also compared her postpartum weight loss to her son’s wife.
