A netizen shared how his mother-in-law controls everything at his house whenever she comes over to visit.
Here is the story:
“My mother-in-law feels the need to be in control of everyone and everything at all times. The temperature in our condo, TV volume, what’s in our fridge, everything.
She was over at our place for New Year’s Eve, a day/night that’s just supposed be fun, light, and joyful. Not with her, she kept bouncing around the TV stations trying to find a NYE special she liked, but then kept complaining there wasn’t a good one on.
When she realized that myself, my wife, and her sister were all on our phones, she went on a lecture about phones being an aid to the downfall of society.
The final straw for me was when she decided to, inform me how many calories were in a Coke (I was making myself rum and coke and this was my fourth cup).
I said ” That’s great”. She told me they were ” Packed with sugar”. I said it’s fine. She then told me to “just be careful” like I was 7 going on a bike ride.
I told her that for once in her life she should chill out and enjoy the night rather than hawk everyone for every little thing. I told her she’s on thin ice with me now and if she keeps it up she’ll be banned from the condo.
It was a pretty awkward rest of the night, my wife talked to her mom the next day and she’s pretty upset. My wife is of the mindset that, yes her mom can be a pain and a buzzkill to a degree, but, threatening a ban was too far.”
Editor’s note: I mean to be fair, it is your house right? You have the final say.
