i'm babysitting for my husband's family friend and they're making me so uncomfortable about my size
so i agreed to babysit a kiddo for the next door neighbor who happens to be my husband's old family friend and at first it was fine but then the mom hurt her foot and has to wear a boot she she's staying at home but still wants my help to take care of her 9 year old during the day
now that she's home and we've been chatting more, i feel so uncomfortable being here because there's been several comments that just make me feel like shit :/
the first one, the mom was telling me about how she used to be 350 pounds and lost the weight (she's very skinny now) and she started talking about how unhealthy she was when she was fat. then she looks me up and down and says "sorry sweetheart, but it's the hard truth" like what?? okay?? i am disabled (which is partly why im fat but ive always been a bigger person, even as a kid) but despite that i'm actually pretty healthy per my doctors, checkups, and lab work...
then her adult daughter came over and works as a waitress in some sort of bikini restaurant (??) and made a comment about how mad she was that "fat kelly" gets the friday shifts and the mom was going on about how much prettier and skinnier her daughter is and how she should get the better shifts because people will obviously like her more because of that
and now finally today the 9 year old excitedly ran up to her mom and went "look! my stomach is flat!" and the mom went "yeah you've grown and lost some weight, you look so much better now!"
like it's just all these little comments and i'm just sitting here as a fat women and trying not to let it get to me but it's been really hard. i just wanna be done with this babysitting already 💔
