A woman and her daughters regularly enjoyed girls’ trips, but they began excluding her daughter-in-law, Beth, after she gained weight following the birth of her child. Beth’s need for frequent breaks during activities made it difficult for the group to fully enjoy their trips. The woman used to include Beth but found her attitude and physical limitations disruptive, as she often had to sit down during outings.
When the woman excluded Beth from a recent trip to an orchard, Beth called, upset, asking why she wasn’t invited. The woman lied at first but later told Beth it was due to her weight and the need for constant breaks. Beth was hurt, and the woman’s son demanded an apology, but her daughters supported her decision.
Reddit users had mixed opinions. Some thought the woman was right to exclude Beth but suggested she should have phrased it more tactfully. Others felt it wasn’t just about weight but fitness and that Beth should have opted out of physically demanding activities. A few emphasized that honesty was better than lying, and that the issue might not solely be Beth’s weight but her fitness level.
