What My Mother-In-Law Did to My Mum Has Left a Very Bitter Taste in My Mouth
When I first met my mother-in-law 3 years ago, she struck me as a typical street woman, and it wasn’t long before she proved me right. That day, hubby and I had gone to visit her, and as old as she is, she was in a ugly fight with one of her tenants, swearing and cursing all the way in our presence, as neighbours tried to make peace between them. My husband couldn’t hide his embarrassment but I decided never to broach the subject subsequently.
When we got married, I made sure to keep her at arms length. She didn’t really like me anyway, she lives in Akure and the fact that we moved from Lagos to Abuja after our wedding made things a lot easier for me until hubby’s business trip to the US two months ago.
Few weeks after he left, we found out I was pregnant. I am not employed yet and since I had previously had two miscarriages and it was a high risk pregnancy, hubby and I decided I should move to my parents’ house in Lagos, pending his return.
Surprisingly, my mother-in-law stormed our house a week after my arrival, asking what right I had to move in with my mum after her son paid my bride price. She added that if my hubby had any sense, he would have sent his pregnant wife to his mother instead and my mother was even more daft not to realize with her age and supposed experience that what we did was traditionally unacceptable.
I think my mum was about to say something to calm her down because she was really shouting, when I heard what seemed like a bang. She had slapped my mum!
As she charged at my mum, prepping to start a fight, my brother swiftly pulled her away and I took my mum into her room.
She soon left, shouting and cursing in her usual fashion. Obviously, she had done nothing wrong in her own eyes. She called me the following day and I didn’t pick up. Surprisingly, she sent my mum and I a text message immediately after the call, saying we should watch out for her next visit because it wasn’t over yet.
My hubby is very upset and we have been begging my mum every chance we get since the incident. I’m waiting to see what hubby will do when he gets back but who am I fooling? We both know it’s useless trying to make that woman reasonable. I resent her so deeply. How can you walk into my father’s house and slap my mother? Because my mum is a widow?
How unfortunate, dear you are married to your husband not your MIL. Please do not talk about things which have caused problems in the past, or try to change a situation because you might cause more problems, she is a trouble maker, if she tries to come back, flee as the bible says
You need to report it to the police and she be given a restraining order. She has no right whatsoever to do what she did. And please do not go to her house at all because she can beat you up. People like this shouldn’t be treated in a civil way. If she’s from the street, then you deal with her streetwise too Mtscheeeeeeewwww. What nonsense is that? Who does she think she is? Is she the first to be a widow? Am sure her troubles killed her husband. She’s an evil trouble maker. I resent people like this.
hmmmmmn
Report this to the police cos this kinda woman can storm your house with tugs knowing she has already left a mark during the first visit. She will come fully prepared, do you guys should also be prepared and watch your back.
Hmmm she is really a trouble maker.I’m glad your brother controlled himself.Please don’t wait for your husband to return before taking action because it might be too late.Tell him your plan which should be to make a report to the police or appropriate authorities and your MIL be made to sign an undertaking that she will be held responsible if anything happens to you or your family.

I agreed with everyone about reporting to the police, I mean your mum isn’t a teenager for her to raise her hand too. But I appreciate the way your mum,bro and yourself behave there,that means your mummy brought you up well. Kudos to her, but please always stay away from MIL as u said your pregnancy is high-risk. God will ser you through
