Some in-law relationships start off great, only to unravel the moment someone enters a challenging period in their life. Suddenly, boundaries that seemed natural are tested, and even small disagreements can turn into full-blown confrontations.
Reddit user DearPomegranate1200 shared on r/JUSTNOMIL, a community for venting about your mother-in-law, how her husband’s mom changed after the birth of their child.
She described repeated arguments and the emotional toll of dealing with a relative who refuses to respect her role as a parent—all building up to a dramatic standoff over the phone.
It takes a village to raise a child, and ideally, you’d want your in-laws to be a part of it
