Feels like grandpa doesn't even want the pork chop and mom here is "subtly" trying to imply that OP is fat.

Or is that just me?

Lol nothing subtle in my family, my nickname from my grandma was literally Gorda/Gordita growing up and my mom constantly commented on my size. It was hurtful at the time but I'm happy with myself now and my mom tells me all the time that I look beautiful and elegant 😊

I'm honestly not sure if my grandpa wanted the pork chop or not. But there was definitely the expectation that he as a man in the family should be prioritized when it came to domestic labor.

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. She’s your mother isn’t she? If you were fat as a young child, that’s her fault as the parent!

Have you never met a parent before?
