Moving in with someone is a step in arelationshipthat can severely affect it.
For it to work, people have to make compromises.
While some of them can be quite minor, others can be way more serious.
That is the main focus of todays story.
For this reason, she asked her sonsfamilyto move in with her so they could help if needed.
Sounds quite drastic, doesnt it?
Well, the author has her reasons.
One of them is the MILs boyfriend, who was dubbed Mason in the story.
He is a felon who has plenty of drunk driving charges and was even in prison.
This alcohol abuse led him to adopt a 5-year-old Rottweiler Mastiff mix (also known asMastweiler).
Due to their hybrid breeding, these dogs can have inconsistent temperaments.
And so, it is important totrainthem so they know how to behave.
Mason failed to do that.
Now, the dog is very aggressive.
So, it is natural that the woman doesnt want the dog in a place where crawling children live.
Unfortunately, drinking and aggressive pets arent the only problems stemming from Mason.
The OP explained that he has an old parenting style.
From her description, we guess its theauthoritarianone.
Its based on setting rules and expecting a child to obey them without question.
He also has a relative who was convicted of abusing children and sat inprisonfor 13 years.
So, its natural that she doesnt want a person like that in her home with children.
The woman also wants to have her name on the home deed.
She doesnt trust Mason and thinks he might want to kick them out.
Plus, she wants neither Mason nor her MIL to make decisions for her and her husband.
So, when you see the reasons behind the list, it doesnt seem so bad, does it?
Well, the mother-in-law and her problematic boyfriend would disagree.
Yet, the OP doesnt plan on budging, even when her sister-in-law called it ridiculous.
In a way, internet users found this situation ridiculous as well.
But in a different way to what people in the story thought.
And, just as netizens pointed out, maybe its for the best.
