“Your mom has no right to come into your home and tell you all what to do. Your wife left her job and MADE a whole new career for herself that she ENJOYS because she feels like it brings her closer to HER mother. Your wife isn’t just sitting at home doing nothing and she’s not neglecting your kids either – your wife is doing NOTHING wrong. Your MOTHER on the other hand went into YOUR home and started screaming at you in front of YOUR children. And she thinks she’s entitled to be gifted YOUR money? THINK about this OP, your MOTHER is the one that is in the wrong 100%”
