She Kicked Her Mother-In-Law Out After She Drove 16 Hours To See Her New Baby Because Her Mother-In-Law Brought Her Niece Along, Who Severely Bullies Her Other Kids
Three weeks ago, this woman had a baby.
Only recently have she and her husband been accepting visitors to come over and meet her child.
About five days ago, her mother and sister met her baby for the first time, and her mother-in-law was going to come over the day after that.
Her mother-in-law lives a 16-hour drive away, so she was going to stay with her and her husband for a week.
She and her husband live in Canada, so her mother-in-law had to get a passport before making the trip.
On the day that they expected their mother-in-law to get to their house, she called them and said that she had to make a stop to catch up on sleep, so she wouldn’t be coming over until the following day. This was no problem for her or her husband.
At 10 a.m. the next day, her mother-in-law arrived.
“Now, the issue is that she brought her two granddaughters with her (my husband’s nieces, both 12). Not only was this never discussed (she didn’t even hint toward it), but one of the nieces in question is someone we no longer allow around our other children due to severe bullying, and my mother-in-law is fully aware of it,” she said.
Last year, during a family barbecue, her husband’s niece punched their 5-year-old son in the face because she was angry that he wouldn’t give her a squirt gun that he was playing with, which belonged to her.

After the incident, her husband’s sister (his niece’s mother) took his niece’s side and didn’t reprimand her daughter for being violent towards their son. Due to this, she and her husband no longer speak to his sister.
Her mother-in-law knows that she and her husband don’t talk to his sister and niece.
On the other hand, the other niece is well-behaved and kind, and she really enjoys being around this niece.
“I allowed the other niece to come inside and meet the baby, and I made my mother-in-law and the bully niece stay outside while she did so,” she explained.
Her husband completely agreed with her decision to do this, and he was furious with his mother. He was so angry that he voiced the option of letting the other niece and his mother stay with them for a week while making the bully niece take a flight home.
However, his mother felt uneasy allowing her to fly alone, which she felt was an understandable concern.
In the end, both of her husband’s nieces left with her mother-in-law, and she only allowed the better-behaved niece to meet her child.
Later, she and her husband have been name-called by a few members of his family.
“The sister-in-law that we are in no contact with is soiling our name by saying we have wasted my mother-in-law’s time and are wrongly punishing her child (she says we need to ‘get over it’). My brother-in-law says we are ignorant because my mother-in-law purchased her and her two granddaughters’ passports, so it was wasted money and wasted time,” she shared.
Her other sister-in-law (the mother of the well-behaved niece) luckily has taken their side throughout the situation.
Apparently, her mother-in-law told this sister-in-law that she’d informed her that she was bringing her husband’s nieces, which wasn’t true.
Since she’s heard so many conflicting opinions, she’s not sure whether it was wrong for her to make her mother-in-law and the bully niece wait in the car while the other niece met her baby and then force them all to leave right afterward.
