“68 Bizarre In-Law Moments That Will Leave You Questioning Reality—Prepare to Be Shocked!”
My (M27) wife (F23) and I just returned from a week-long vacation to find our kitchen literally rearranged. We asked her parents just to drop by and feed our rabbits while we were away. Something they’ve done numerous times and are always paid to do when needed- This vacation was fairly needed as I’m in the middle of attending post-secondary and working part-time while my wife works full time and takes care of the house while I pitch in where I can. And after a 4-hour car ride we are extremely thankful for this break and look forward to preparing for another year of endless work. But lo and behold her parents left us another hour’s worth of work for us to even use the kitchen, as a joke. Wife is more upset than I am but it certainly drew an annoyed snort from me which I believe qualifies as mildly infuriating. Pic is just one of several cupboards. Tldr; needed a break, got a break, immediately unconvinced upon return by people we love and are also paying.
The daughter-in-law would be in a completely new environment, separated from her family and the people who protect her. The mother-in-law, naturally, would have her son’s and the household’s best interest at heart, perhaps exerting more control than needed. And the criticism, of course, would be directed at the new wife. This might just be the origin of the MIL-DIL relationship trope.
