Question Is it ok to tell someone they have gained weight, look chubby, look full, etc...in family? My family is Hispanic so is it cultural or rude? They comment on anyone and everyone and say it right to their face!
Answer Dear Madeline:
Thank you for your inquiry regarding appropriate familial comments.
Etiquette is employed to make others feel comfortable both in their own skin and in unfamiliar situations. However, family members tend to forget courtesy due to each other in light of concern such as health and concern for appearance.
Things can be taken allot differently when bombarded opinions at someone, and then their defense mechanism kicks in eliciting anything from anger, resentment to sadness.
Criticism when constructive, is actually good for individuals. However, caution must be given in how someone offers this criticism. A little diplomacy, mixed with care and concern can go a long way for acceptance.
I would offer you to speak to them honestly and let them know your feelings. Say, " I appreciate your concern, but I am content with my appearance. My predisposition is hereditary to my culture. Maybe in the future, you can direct your concerns in a non-harsh manner, but with diplomacy and love."
People always think they know what is best for others, when they have not looked in the mirror for quite sometime----meaning it is just habit. And well sometimes you have to overlook family members constant nagging habits, because in the end they are family and do have your best interest at heart.
Please let me know if you have any other questions, and I will be happy to respond. I remain
