WIFE RECORDED THE MEAN BEHAVIOURS OF HER MOTHER-IN-LAW TO PROVE TO HER HUSBAND, WHO WASN’T BELIEVING HER
A woman had stated that her mother-in-law was acting as if she was the slave of her. She had talked with her husband regarding the situation, and he didn’t believe that his mother would act like that, so she secretly recorded the behaviours of mother-in-law, to show her husband.
The woman had shared her story on Reddit’s r/AITA subreddit, and asked for advice from the other Redditors, in terms of her situation.
The woman had explained that she has two children with her husband, and the third is on it’s way, as she is pregnant.
As she was heavly pregnant, and with her 2-year-old twins, her husband had wanted to take his mother with them, since she was alone. “My husband (27) insisted that we have his mom move in with us due to her losing her husband (6 month prior) and older age.”
As she was not getting along with her mother-in-law, she had stated, “I from the get go was uncomfortable with my mother in law moving in because she is extremely nitpicking and always finds something wrong with the way I do things. I’m from another culture than her and grew up in the west while she is south Asian. I do my best to respect her culture but she always mocks mine and how I grew up.”
She had stated that her mother-in-law was acting as if she was her slave. “Ever since she moved in with me she been ordering me around like I am her slave and since she is my husband’s mother I been doing my best to please her but no matter what I do I can’t.”
She had explained how her mother-in-law was stressing her out. “She finds some kinda fault with everything I do!!! It gotten so stressful for me that it ends up leaving me in tears. This one time she asked me to cook this dish from her homeland which I never ate before but she refused to help me prepare it so the night night before I spend all night trying to research it, only for her to take one bite and tell me it’s awful and throw her whole plate out.”
She gave more examples of her rudeness as, “With cleaning she’s always watching me telling me that I’m not cleaning right and that she doesn’t understand how her son could marry someone who doesn’t even know how to be a wife. I just feel like she’s really disrespectful and when I try to ask her to treat me better she’ll go ran to my husband claiming I was the one being disrespectful to her.”
She is sending her to grocery store, as she is pregnant. “She Constantly orders me around asking me to go to the store for her, clean up after her or cook for her only to say I did it horribly.”
The woman had said that in her pregnancy condition, she got enough of it, and confronted her. “I’m pregnant and exhausted and can no longer cope with this anymore to I told my mother in law that enough is enough and that I’m no longer doing anything for her until she learns to treat me with respect and whether she likes it or not I’m the mother of her grandson and unborn granddaughters which makes me family.”
Then her mother-in-law had talked with her son, and the husband had supported his mother. “She started insulting me and told me that women out here don’t know how to respect their elders and she’s disgusted her son choose me. She ended up calling my husband which of course my husband heard her side of the story and sympathized with his mom without even listening to me.”
She had explained that, “He’s upsets and thinks I should be putting more effort in mending the relationship with his mom especially because she is still grieving. But the thing is I brought this to my husband attention enough times and all he did was downplay his mom’s actions and claim that she’s warm up to me soon enough which she hasn’t.”
