My father in law asked if I was pregnant today (he knows full well we would tell them if we were pregnant). He put his hand on my stomach and rubbed it and asked. He was totally serious. I had a baby 9 months ago and my stomach isnt perfect. I've tried to eat healthy and workout here and there but his comment really hurt my feelings. Like I had a pretty flat stomach before and now I have an apron belly because of my emergency c section. It really was upsetting. Even though I know I should just let it go it's so much worse bc of how hard I've been trying to look good and lose weight and the fact that it wasn't a stranger but my own family who knows I just had a baby and am trying my best. His comment made me feel like shit about myself. I just came to Reddit to vent. I want to message him and say fuck you. But I don't want to start family drama.

When he said it I responded what? Why would you say that? And I honestly didn't know what to say after that and he never apologised or acknowledged he should have said it.
