A woman is married to her 33-year-old husband, and sadly, he got into a terrible car accident around 4 weeks ago.
Since his accident, her husband has been stuck in bed with an injury to his back, and she’s been taking care of him.
Although she is already making sure her husband has everything he needs while he can’t get out of bed, her mother-in-law has been all over her about the care she is providing her husband.
“She begged me to take time off work and I did, asked me to send her hourly updates about his condition (first 2 weeks) but when I don’t she’d get mad and cause an issue,” she explained about her mother-in-law.
“She visits every day but doesn’t do anything to help, alternatively, she’d list all the things I should or shouldn’t do. The family keeps telling me she’s just worried sick for her son so I try to stay calm.”
Well, a couple of days ago, her mother-in-law phoned her up to yell at her about not changing the sheets on her bed fast enough for her husband.
She was completely clueless as to how her mother-in-law would even know this since her husband didn’t say anything to his mom.
Eventually, she found out from her sister-in-law that her mother-in-law had put a camera inside of her bedroom so she could spy on her.
“I was stunned, after searching the room I found the camera, I called my MIL and had a huge fight with her,” she said.

“She admitted it and said she was just feeling concerned and wanted to make sure her son was being cared for (despite him calling her every day)”
“I yelled at her telling her that she’s no longer allowed into my home after this. She lost it and went on a rant about how I’m stopping her from seeing her son and that not seeing him will literally make her sick herself.”
Her husband’s whole family has gotten involved now, and everyone is begging her to take back what she said and not permanently ban her mother-in-law from her home.
She told her husband’s family that her mother-in-law destroyed her trust and her ability to have privacy in her own home.
Her husband’s family believes she’s being too sensitive and she should understand how her mother-in-law just wants what’s best.
Her husband has also weighed in, and he thinks that she is “being vindictive” and if his mom is no longer allowed at their house he’s going to move in with his mom.
She got into a fight with her husband over this, and he hasn’t spoken to her since.
Do you think she has a right to ban her mother-in-law?
