Dear Cr-Abby from Upset Mom in Bellflower

DEAR CR-ABBY:

My daughter's 15-year-old friend "Willa" no longer comes over to our house. When I asked my daughter why, she said my husband told Willa she was getting fat. Willa told her mother, and her mother told her not to visit us anymore.
I confronted my husband and told him his comment was rude and that
he should never have said it. My husband says I'm wrong, making a huge deal out of nothing and he did not mean anything by it. As a mother, I would not appreciate a grown man making comments about my daughter's body.
Am I wrong to think my husband's remark is a form of sexual harassment, even though it was not in the workplace?

Dear PC Police in Mexico North,

Help me out here,...is your question "I am right to be angry and my husband and was he wrong" -OR- Are you really looking for the further legal validation that he has crossed into "sexual harassment" territory.
Why is his rudeness anymore or less rude if we can tag it with one of the hot "Not PC" labels?

Isn't the more germane question..."My husband was an idiot and doesn't recognize the injury he caused YOUR daughter" (not to mention the little plumper down the street)...how do I fix this?

Here's what you do,...take one more stab at getting Archie Bunker to "get it" using the phrase,..."do you see that this hurt our daughter as much as it hurt our neighbor"? If the answer is still..."ain't no thang"...then plan "B"....
Wait until his best friend comes over, you know "J.W." the one with gut that hides his Bronco Billy Belt Buckle... In a clear loud bello..."say, hey,..is that a solar eclipse or did J.W. just walk in?"
Then maybe he get a clue.

Meanwhile, go over and have a chat with the family and apologize for the comment (even though you weren't the perp). Make a nice play date for FREE WILLY and your daughter to reconnect on neutral territory like the "All You Can Eat Trough Section" at Ben and Jerry's Emporium.
