Dear Prudence,
My dad recently seems to have developed a hatred for overweight people that I can’t understand. He says things like “look at this fatty” when we’re out driving. My husband and I object when he says these things, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. What’s even worse is that my mother is overweight. He says these things around her, and she doesn’t say anything! I think my dad is trying to be funny, but no one laughs. When I came home from the hospital two days after my son’s birth last year, he made a comment about how I “still looked pregnant.” I’m not sure if I should bring it up or just let it be between my parents, but the whole thing really upsets me.
