A woman had shared her story on Reddit’s “AITA” subreddit. The female Redditor had explained that her mother-in-law was snooping into her belongings, and bedroom, which she had enough one day and decided to catch her mother-in-law on act, as she explained to her husband.
Whenever the mother-in-law was at OP’s home, she was constantly diving into her bedroom. One time, OP had followed her mother-in-law to see her whay she was up to. She saw her mother-in-law entered to their bedroom, and she was looking through OP’s dresser.
When OP confronted with her mother-in-law, she refused that she looked into OP’s belongings. She had reasoned her action as she stated that she couldn’t find any bathroom, and she went to OP’s bedroom to get into the bathroom upstairs.
Then, OP had installed a doorknob with a lock, to the door of her office and bedroom to keep things inside safe, and away from mother-in-law.
Couple of time mother-in-law had tried to enter to the OP’s office and bedroom with the same excuse, where she stated that she forget the location of the bathroom.
When her sister-in-law and mother-in-law came to OP and her husband’s house for dinner one day during a holiday, OP decided to trap her mother-in-law, and catch her in action and let everybody know of her mean behaviour.
When OP was about to lock the doors of her bedroom and office, her husband said that she doesn’t need to, since he was sure that his mother wouldn’t enter.
As OP and her husband argued about the issue for a while, then agreed to put fine glitter on the doorknobs of bedroom and office. She would know if her mother-in-law would try to get inside the bedroom or the office.
After her husband left, OP decided to do more, and put glitter over the door to drop down when the door opens. She was sure that her mother-in-law would try to get in again, and she wanted so badly to catch her.
As the family arrived, OP’s husband made everyone sure that no one is using the upstairs bathroom, and showed his mother the location of the downstairs bathroom.
But a while later, the mother-in-law excused her self for bathroom, and a little while later she came downstairs, covered in glitter. OP wrote, “She completely lost it and started screaming at me, so I yelled back, and now my husband is saying I went too far.”
As her mother-in-law had yelled at her, and her husband said that what she did was too much, her sister-in-law had defended OP, where she said that her mother deserved it, and OP did nothing wrong.
