But, her mother-in-law eventually passed away last year after her son turned nineteen. And even though her son was left an inheritance from his grandma, it was not a huge sum of money– so he blew through it really quickly.
And afterward, he showed up on her doorstep. He apparently needed a place to stay, and, as his mother, she told her son that he was always welcome.
However, she did not appreciate her son lounging around her house and living by her mother-in-law’s old rules.
“He would not clean up after himself or help around the house. He would stay up playing video games and sleep until the afternoon,” she said.
“And I told him that was not going to work for me, and he needed to shape up.”
Instead of growing up, though, her son just ran to her in-laws and began complaining about how much of a terrible mother she was.
This prompted them to start harassing her and accusing her of being unreasonable. So, she gave her son one more chance to change his behavior and start acting more responsibly. But he didn’t.
He just kept on complaining about her house and her rules to one of his aunts until finally, she had enough.
So, one day when he was out of the house, she decided to pack up all of his belongings and drop them off at her in-laws. Then, once her son arrived home, she dropped him off, too.
She believed that if her in-laws were going to validate his immature behavior, then they could deal with it.
Ever since then, though, her entire family has been calling her an absolute jerk for abandoning her son. Plus, her son has apparently been driving them just as crazy as he had made her.
