Reminds me of a rule a friend of mine has regarding the subject of commenting on a woman looking pregnant... "Don't say anything unless you actually see the baby being birthed."

"I know she's old, but do you really lose all ability to filter your thoughts as you age?"
I think the answer, at least in her case, is "yes."
I know my grandmother said to a very close family friend "I've never seen a baby THAT FAT before." Now, my grandmother loved this person, and this baby and all babies very much. I think it was the filter-thing already gone.
Boy - 10 years, Girl - 6 Years Old!, (What am I still doing here?! LOL) Dog - Eternal Puppy , Me - Done .
That makes me crazy too!
When did being old give people a lisense (sp?) to be rude. I have heard so many elderly people in the last few years say that they can say what they want b/c of their age. If you've live as long as they have, shouldn't you have a BETTER understanding of appropriate behavior?
IMO - rude behavior is rude behavior no matter how old you are.
Wow - sounds like you live across the hall from my MIL. I feel your pain.
In some cases, this isn't a filter-gone-bad things with elderly people.... with my in-laws, I've found that they are rude in order to be controlling. They think they are helping by literally pointing to the specific areas that I've gained weight. I typically handle it by telling them that they are being rude and walking away... not the best reaction, but it's the best I can do without swearing at them. :)
Stay strong!!
