Weird post, but, we have to go visit FIL for the weekend and I can't stand him for many reasons but one is he is a lonely and horny pervert and his subtle leering repulses me. He wants to take us to the community pool in his town and I seriously don't want to wear a bathing suit around him. I have an average body and I'm generally very uncomfortable and self conscious about myself in a bathing suit anyway but the idea of wearing one around him is gross. I generally try to be as unsexy and modest as possible in his presence. Would it be really Amish-like of me just to wear a sundress and say I'm not a big fan of being poolside?

He lives in bumf*ck Pennsylvania. There's nothing else to do there and he thinks the kids will like it which they may and I otherwise they would be bored out of their skulls, so I wouldn't want to take that away from them because I'm feeling a bit prudish. [ Reply | More

I bought a "schmatte" - basically a coverall/short sundress thing - at Bloomingdales for $80 to cover my swimsuit while I sit around. It does the trick. Just ignore FIL. Or have DH say something to him. [ Reply | More

I love the word schmatte! I am planning on wearing a shorter dress so I can dip my feet in the pool. Just don't even want to put on a bathing suit. Like I said, it's not my favorite thing to do even under different circumstances. I'm not overweight, just have always felt uncomfortable in bathing suits. [ Reply | More
