Her Teenaged Brother-In-Law Stole The Earrings That Her Husband Bought Her And Her Three Daughters, So She Banned Him From Their House

Just a few weeks ago, this twenty-three-year-old woman gave birth to her third baby girl. So, her thirty-two-year-old husband decided to gift her and her three daughters, who are three, one, and two weeks old, some brand-new earrings that match one of his necklaces.
That day was obviously very chaotic, though, and she received a ton of visitors at her house who wanted to see her baby.
In turn, she and her girls did not have enough time to put the earrings on and decided to leave the boxes on the nightstand.
Now, when she did that, she obviously thought the earrings would stay there– safe and sound. Unfortunately, though, that is not what happened.
The issues all began after her husband’s parents and her brother-in-law– who is sixteen– came over to visit. And since they traveled from far away, she and her husband decided to let them stay over for a few days.
After all, it was also a big help for her, too– since apparently, her mother-in-law is an “angel” who helped her out a lot with the girls.
So, everyone was having a great stay and enjoying spending time as a family. But then, once she noticed that she could not find the boxes of earrings or her husband’s necklace, things took a turn.
She and her husband searched the house from top to bottom, looking everywhere they could possibly think of. But, lo and behold, their search turned up completely dry.
Shortly afterward, though, her brother-in-law decided to chime in and share his opinion about what might have happened to the jewelry. Apparently, he claimed to think that her cleaning lady stole the items.

“But, of course, I did not believe that because we have known her for years, and she never took anything that was not hers,” she explained.
She tried to explain that to her brother-in-law, too. However, for whatever reason, the teen was insistent that her cleaning lady was behind the theft.
So, without any other proof, her mother-in-law suggested that she and her husband should check their surveillance cameras just in case. That way, she did not wrongfully accuse her cleaning lady of anything without being sure.
Right at that moment, though, she claimed that her brother-in-law’s face turned super pale. Then, all of a sudden, he tried to say that checking the camera footage was not necessary because he claimed to witness the cleaning lady taking the jewelry.
Still, she really did not believe that at all. So, after her in-laws left, she and her husband decided to check the cameras anyway. And ultimately, they found that her brother-in-law had been the jewelry thief all along.
They ended up confronting him about it, too, but the teen just tried to justify his behavior– claiming that he only needed the money to ask out a girl.
At that point, though, her husband kind of reprimanded his brother and said that he should have just asked for money– not resorted to stealing.
According to her brother-in-law, though, his parents actually told him never to ask her or her husband for money.
Now, she claims that this ties back to her in-laws’ financial struggles. Apparently, her husband comes from a very poor family.
And even though her husband has money now and can afford to help out his family at this point in his life, her in-laws have never accepted it.
“It’s like they don’t want their son, who is younger than them, to give them money– because it makes them feel like failures,” she revealed.
So, she knows that her brother-in-law was really telling the truth about needing money but not being allowed to ask for it. Still, though, she believes that the teen should’ve never tried to steal, regardless.
After all, had she and her husband not had the surveillance cameras in their daughter’s room, her brother-in-law might have caused an innocent person to lose their job. And obviously, that is far from fair.
In turn, she believed that her brother-in-law needed to be taught a lesson and ultimately told him that until he learned how to behave himself, he was no longer allowed over at her house.
Despite believing that was a fair punishment, though, her mom thinks she was way too harsh. In fact, her mom believes that her brother-in-law is still just a kid and she should be more understanding.
“But I’m not going to change my mind,” she vented.
Still, though, with her mom giving her pushback, she has been left wondering whether banning her brother-in-law from her home was a reasonable consequence or not.
Can you understand why her brother-in-law might have felt like his only option was to steal? At the same time, does that make it okay? What if he had gotten her housekeeper fired? Do you believe her ban is too harsh or is it a justified punishment?
