A 36-year-old woman turned to the internet for advice after kicking her 72-year-old mother-in-law out of her house late at night. While the two usually got along, tensions rose when the older woman moved in to help prepare for the arrival of the woman’s first baby. What started as a kind gesture soon crossed boundaries the woman couldn’t ignore.
The woman and her husband often hosted his mother for holidays, and although she could be overbearing, the woman appreciated her warmth. However, her mother-in-law had strong opinions on how things should be done, especially around the kitchen, often rearranging things and insisting her way was best.
