Her Aunt Pretty Much Threw A Tantrum When She Asked Her To Take Her Shoes Off Inside Her House

Several weeks ago, this 22-year-old woman and her husband, 26, bought a house.
Throughout the first few weeks since they moved in, they’ve been setting everything up and making their house feel like a home.
Their house has hardwood floors, so to decorate, they thought that it would look nice to add a few rugs.
“These rugs are a light gray/white color. My husband and I are very much type A people and like to keep a clean and clutter-free home, so we figured the color of the rugs wouldn’t be an issue since all our friends and we don’t wear shoes indoors at each other’s houses,” she said.
Recently, her Uncle E, her godfather, his girlfriend, and her Aunt R drove from out of state to visit her mom, who only lives a few towns away from her and her husband.
“Mind you, R invited herself on this trip, and since she is the baby of the family, no one told her no,” she explained.
When her family members visited her mom, she invited them over to her and her husband’s house for dinner, to play games, and to give them a tour since they hadn’t seen the new house yet.
She didn’t want to come off as “bossy,” so instead of telling each of her family members one by one to take their shoes off at the door as they came in, she decided to put a sign on the front door.
“I figured they’re old enough to read and be respectful. As soon as R walked into my home and saw the sign, she scoffed and continued to keep walking in, so I said, ‘I really don’t want shoes to be worn in the house, so can you just leave them at the door?’ She then proceeded to scoff and storm out of the door, slamming it. She pouted on the doorstep and refused to come in for the rest of the night,” she shared.

Even though she wouldn’t have been as strict with the rule of not wearing shoes in the house if her family members were elderly and would physically struggle with taking their shoes off, her aunts and uncles are in good health. So, none of the family would have had any issues physically with being able to abide by this rule.
Her mom was at her house for the family gathering, too, and didn’t at all agree with her rule of everyone taking their shoes off in the house.
The entire time the family was there, her mom argued with her and was really mean, telling her that she was making too big of a fuss and that their family doesn’t come from a culture where they are expected to take their shoes off when they’re inside.
While R was moping outside the house, her uncle E kept going out to check on R because he was so worried about her.
Then, her mom made up what seemed to be a fake excuse so that the family could leave, and she claimed that she’d forgotten to do something at her house. Her family only stayed for about an hour.
After they left, she texted her mom and said that she didn’t want R in her house again. Apparently, R has thrown many tantrums like this during family events, so she was sick of R’s behavior at this point. However, her mom said that she was being irrational and that R should still be allowed at the house whenever the family gets together.
Do you think she did the right thing to request that all of her family members take their shoes off inside her house?
