@jonfromfridai / TikTok A dad shared how he absolutely went after his mother-in-law after she made some totally messed-up comments to his young daughter about her body, and honestly, we need more of this from the men in our young girls’ lives, please! “I went off on my mother-in-law for making comments about my daughter’s belly,” Jon said in a TikTok.
