Parents just don't understand...

ever get that family member that see's you at a reunion, in my case, Cuban parents, and they can't distinguish between fat and muscle, and will say something like, "My, how fat you have gotten". Granted I'll have no wasteline with big arms but in their eyes, big is big. Or they'll give me explenations on how I have to exercies because I weight 210 and it's just not right. Anyways, just wondering if any other bros exerepince this regarding their different culutures or family's point of view...

Granted I'm 29 but to hispanic parents, your still "el Nino" no matter how old you are..

Gotta love latin culture. I enjoy it. I lived in chile for a few years, and at the time I weighed 160 (6'2") and I was rminded daily of me being a flaquitin. Now that I went back a little while ago at 215, everyone thought I was fat now (with a 30 inch waist and 17" arms, lol.) People don't realize the difference between big and fat sometimes I guess.

yea...but back in the days, my mom was ugly becasue she was skinny. In cuba, you needed to be fat to look good. At least for women in the 50's....fat is just healthy for them. In a way I am happy about that

That's kinda harsh to say about your family. I guess lots of people got issues with family members. I know I do.
