You know the saying, Keep your friends close, and your in-laws as far away as possible?
Okay, maybe thats not a real saying, but it might as well be.
It all went down when her father-in-law barricaded himself into the guestroom.
All seemed fine until a surprise 10 PM knock at the door.
Apparently, the parents had skipped the hotel and opted for an uninvited stay in the guest room.
I dont know about you, but Id be pretty mad at this point.
But somehow, our OP kept her cool and allowed them to crash in the guest room.
Predictably, this did not go over well.
The OP, probably running on 3 hours of sleep and pure adrenaline, snapped while stepmom slinked away.
Mind you, their home was a daunting 12-hourtripaway.
Thats when she unleashed her piece de resistance, calling the OP an ungrateful jerk.
Talk about poking the bearor mama bear, in this case.
After that verbal grenade, the OP told her in-laws to pack their bags and get out.
Who even does that?
Need to use their computer or phone?
see to it to ask first.
And for the love of all things cozy, dont overstay your welcome.
If youre unsure about something, ask.
Your host will appreciate your thoughtfulness way more than your assumption that their guest towels are disposable.
But guess what, it does.
As long as you dont live in that home, youre still a guest.
You know, dealing withoverbearing in-lawsis like trying to win an argument with a toddlerimpossible and exhausting.
The key is setting boundaries early and sticking to them like you stick to your favoriteNetflixseries.
If things get tense, try a bit of humor to lighten the mood.
What would you have done in this situation?
Was calling the police the right move, or would you have handled things differently?
