My ex’s mum said I had the body of a Shetland Pony – she called me ‘common’ and made me WEIGH myself in front of her
WHETHER it's comments about your looks or your parenting style, some mother-in-laws don't hold back.
One woman couldn't believe the offensive remarks her ex's mum made about her body and her accent.
She explained that her ex and his mum had been estranged for 11 years before reconnecting.
Sarah said that the older woman was obsessed with her son, saying at points it seemed like she even "fancied" him.
According to the TikToker, her ex's mum "blanked" her when they first met and didn't speak to her for days.

When her ex confronted his mum about her behaviour she said the language barrier prevented her from interacting with her daughter-in-law.
She even said that Sarah should learn her native language out of respect, despite her own son not even speaking it fluently.
"She went as far as to say that I had a common accent," Sarah explained.
While she acknowledged that she speaks fast, she pointed out that the woman had no trouble understanding others with similar accents, including her son.
Sarah also revealed the constant fat-shaming she endured fronm her mother-in-law during the relationship.
"She compared me to a Shetland Pony, which really hurt at the time," she said.
She "marched" her daughter-in-law to the bathroom scales and told her to weigh herself in front of not only her but her son and his friend too.
Sarah explained that she never expressed a desire to lose weight to her mother-in-law but her boyfriend encouraged her to take his mum up on the offer as a way to bond.
She revealed that the "final straw" occurred at a family event, which she took her sister to for back up.
Not only did Sarah's mother-in-law have no difficulty understanding her sister's accent, she fawned over her figure for the whole night.
TikTok users shared their thoughts on the situation in the comments section.
"The Shetland Pony comment would catch me so off guard," wrote one viewer.
