Her Husband’s Parents Offered To Give Them Money For A Down Payment On A House As A Christmas Gift, But After They Declined The Offer, Her Mother-In-Law Has Gone Nuclear On Social Media
A woman’s in-laws recently packed up and moved to the south several years back since where they live is incredibly expensive.
Saving money was one reason that her in-laws moved, but also her husband’s grandparents live in the south, and her in-laws wanted to live closer to them.
Every couple of months, she and her husband make the long drive down to see them, and since they moved, they still have maintained a great relationship with them.
Well, she is currently 7 months pregnant with the first child that she and her husband will have, and they are expecting a girl.
When she and her husband told her in-laws about their baby, they started remarking that it’s a shame they won’t be able to see their granddaughter that often since they don’t live close by at all.
She and her husband brushed the comments off because, after all, her in-laws did make the decision to move to the south, and that wasn’t on her or her husband.
“Last week, his mom asked to FaceTime with us because she has something exciting to tell us,” she explained.
“A house in their neighborhood is up for sale. His parents said as a Christmas gift this year, they are giving us the money for the down payment on the house so we can, in his mom’s words, “ move out of our horrible state and little apt.”
“We both didn’t know what to say we have never had any plans to move or of state, never implied it was something we would ever consider.”

“My entire family, including my parents and everyone I have ever known is here, our jobs are here, and I’m sorry, but I’m not moving my daughter…just not happening.”
She and her husband both said thank you to her mother-in-law on the call before saying that although they were grateful for her offer, they don’t want to move. Her mother-in-law promptly hung up the call and has since gone nuclear on social media.
Her mother-in-law has posted about her and her husband being a bunch of ingrates while also accusing them of thinking it’s ok to raise their daughter in a city full of crime (their city is not full of crime, though).
“All her friends are backing her up in the comments about how I’ll be a terrible mother, and she is offering us a house and home for our baby,” she said.
Her mother-in-law thinks that she and her husband are terrible people for saying no to the down payment because it is such a kind gesture.
“All this is making me feel guilty as hell,” she continued. “My husband says to ignore her, but this is stressing me out, and here I am at 4 am stressing and feeling like a bad mother before my daughter is even born.”
Do you think she and her husband should have accepted the offer of a down payment for a house in the south?
