When we get married, we inherit not just a life partner, but their entire family. Sometimes, this can be wonderful. Other times, it can be a nightmare. Many women have to deal with the dreaded and unbearable reality that their mother-in-law may not be the easiest person to handle or deal with on an everyday basis. But, nonetheless, we have to deal with them because, well, we love our partner.
One Wife Recently Opened Up About Her Nosy MIL Who Kept Violating Her Boundaries
After Her MIL Continued to Interrupt Her in the Bathroom, This DIL Had a Plan
After being frustrated with a nosey MIL who continuously walked into the bathroom without knocking, this DIL decided to go with humor over confrontation and seriousness. Whenever her MIL walked in, she decided to pose in an awkward and hilarious way. Her MIL found it to be rather strange and went to her son about the issue. As it turns out, the Reddit user’s husband found it less than amusing. Instead of understanding, the husband was angry that his wife acted too “immaturely.”

Reddit Users, However, Found It To Be Amazing
Many Reddit users could not understand why the husband would be angry with his wife when his mother is the one who is in the wrong for her actions. The fact that the husband found his mother’s actions to be okay, and his wife’s actions to be wrong, says a lot about him. Reddit users also took it a step further and shared some good ideas for the next time the MIL walks in.
The Ideas Kept Flowing For New Ways to Teach the MIL a Lesson
Some Reddit users suggested that the DIL play some more games with her MIL by clocking when she comes to barge into the bathroom while she is in there. This Reddit user said that she could look at her watch and make a snide remark about how long it took for her to come into the bathroom this time around. This could possibly get the MIL to reconsider her position.
Others Just Couldn’t Understand the Logic
Other Reddit users struggled to find the sheer logic behind how the husband can side with his mother, but not with his wife. Clearly, there is something wrong with a woman walking into a closed bathroom door in a house that is not her own. But, maybe this is a bigger problem than just a bathroom door for this couple.
