Our homeowner was enjoying a lovely vacation when they received an alert about an unauthorized event at their house. To their surprise, it was their mom and Sally’s mom, who had decided to let themselves into the homeowner’s space, setting off the alarm. Instead of immediately responding, our homeowner chose to let them deal with the situation for a while before eventually taking the call. Turns out, Sally’s mom just didn’t want to sit in the basement while visiting her daughter, so they thought they’d sneak into the homeowner’s area. After the ordeal, our homeowner took their key back from their mom and now faces the wrath of both moms. But was this the right move? Let’s see what people have to say about this dramatic situation…
