Obese mom: You have a perceived issue with this. You assume that everyone your meet will find a problem with her. Unfortunately, this is society - studies have shown this. Best is put her on a diet, consider gastric bypass, etc.. And other options. Get help for her its the best thing you can do and she will live longer and get to see the grandkids.
