“Susie came to us crying saying how she is sick and tired of being starved most nights.”
There is an eternal debate about who is right, either daughter-in-law or mother-in-law, when it comes to quarrels between them. And luckily, there are plenty of material and mutual disagreements to consider if you’re interested.
So, grab your gavel and hat, and prepare to be the judge in this story. A Reddit user asked online if she had the right for kicked her MIL out of their house.
We know it sounds pretty harsh when you read it. But take a look at the whole story so you can be an objective judge.
For an introduction, we would like to say a few things and facts to make it easier for you to understand. A Reddit user and her husband are working parents with a 10-year-old daughter.
Her MIL lives with them in their house, and they have an agreement that MIL will look after their daughter when they are at work, which also includes making her dinners.
Their kid is not a picky eater and likes to eat everything except mushrooms. She just cannot stand them.
That fact is well known to her MIL, so there shouldn’t be any problem, right? Except, her MIL made a problem of it.
It turned out that MIL was forcing her grandchild to eat mushrooms in every single dish she made. And if she refuses, her grandmother sends her to bed hungry without letting her eat anything else.
But that’s not all at all. Let’s look at all details below, and please share your opinion with us in the comment section below, we would like to hear it.
The original post:
They have a daughter who doesn’t like to eat mushrooms:
It wasn’t a big deal until her MIL made it seem like it:
“It’s very public knowledge that Susie doesn’t like mushrooms,” said the OP:
She and her husband were clearly upset,
so they confronted the MIL.
But that doesn’t end up well, and OP kicked her MIL out of the house.
“Your MIL doesn’t understand that it’s perfectly okay to have different tastes than someone else.”
“Your MIL is deliberately tormenting your child.”
This also
MIL was wrong
It’s the only food she doesn’t like to eat, there is no need to force her
“Absolutely NTA”
“You did the right thing”
It really was cruel
Her MIL is toxic
“Your MIL s a bully”
One Redditor was curious if their child can be alone at home while they are at work:
And the OP replied:
“MIL is widely overstepping the boundaries on this issue”
“NTA. Not everybody like’s everything.”
This wasn’t an everyday story. It’s about a child and MIL’s spite that makes her go to sleep hungry every night on her watch.
Honestly, no one parent would be satisfied with this kind of babysitting. So, someone definitely needs to grow up here, but who?
