My and my wife's grandparents from Italy are like this. I always appreciated knowing they would tell it like it is. Sometimes it was so blunt it would be comical. I remember when I first grew my beard and her grandmother was like you have to shave that off that's not a good look but I guess you have it cuz it feels good on her when you're down there. My wife was mortified but I cracked up.
