Help…

What would you do if your little brother (he’s 18) keeps calling you fat and just keeps making fat jokes? 8 weeks postpartum. I already don’t feel good about myself as it is…

Stop talking to him. That is an absolutely healthy boundary to have for yourself. It's a prime example of consequences of actions too.

Also little siblings are little shits but he's an adult and is more than capable of handling the consequences of his actions and to me that would be "okay. We are no longer talking."

I live with him unfortunately 😭

Being 18 doesn't make it okay to bully people even though he's basically a teen, but is transitioning to an adult. He's not a little kid anymore. Try talking to him and explain that what he's doing is not okay and that ppd is something very serious and possible. If he doesn't budge, then just stop talking to him and ignore him, he has no right to make you feel bad.

And it makes me wonder how your parents react to this. If they don't do anything about it, they're part of the problem.

@Kyrsten I understand that may make it difficult but I'd still not talk to him. It's possible, cuz I did it with my siblings 🤣 not easy but possible. If you're in a room with him and he makes a comment, I'd say "*insert name* that's hurtful and I won't stay around you if you speak to me like that" and if he continues then get up and leave the room.

Just because you have forced proximity does not mean it has to be forced interactions. You deserve peace in your space. I'm sorry you're experiencing this though. That's awful. Just know you're absolutely gorgeous and you've brought a beautiful baby into this world!

Tell him to stfu! Tell him you hope he wouldn’t talk to his girlfriend or future wife that way. How disgusting of him! There’s nothing wrong with you. Also, baby weight can be lost, his ugly a$$ attitude and personality can’t be. I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. I’ve had body image issues (or body dysmorphia these days), since I was 10. I can’t imagine how it feels to hear that, even if it’s from some punk child who knows nothing of the real world.

Can you tell this post triggered me? 🫣

I agree with some of these other ladies. If he lives with you, kick him out. You don’t need that negativity in your life, and he needs to learn he can’t go around running his mouth like that.

Ask him what’s it’s like to be ugly and sad.

I just wouldn't talk to him. Ignore him. He only says it to get a reaction. Sorry that's happening!
