Mother-in-law demands key to son's new house 😰

A mother-in-law's request for a copy of the key to her son's new house has turned into a heated argument. The mother-in-law, who believed it was necessary to have a copy of the key in case of emergencies, was met with resistance from her son's wife. The wife believed that only those who contributed towards the house should have a copy of the key.

The husband tried to diffuse the situation but ultimately sided with his wife, causing the mother-in-law to leave feeling terrible. Despite her good intentions, the mother-in-law's request caused unnecessary tension and ruined the celebration of the new house. Read on to see what others have to say about this situation.
