« Each of us values our privacy, and when this part of our lives is disturbed, we feel attacked and even vulnerable.A woman went on Reddit to share how she dealt with her mother-in-law, who took every opportunity to snoop into her husband’s and daughter-in-law’s bedroom.
However, her husband believes she went too far with her revenge against his mother, and now she wonders if she is in the wrong.
It all started when OP noticed her mother-in-law secretly entering their bedroom. When she confronted her, the mother-in-law said she was just looking for a bathroom, even though she knew there was one downstairs.
This happened a few times, and one day, when OP noticed her mother-in-law going up the stairs, she decided to follow her.The mother-in-law entered the bedroom again and began to go through her daughter-in-law’s bills and documents.
When OP told her husband about it, he told her she was overreacting. Knowing she wasn’t overreacting, OP decided to change the locks on both their bedroom and office, but her mother-in-law still found ways to enter and snoop around.
One day, she invited the whole family over, including her mother-in-law, but this time, she plotted revenge. What she did was considered brilliant by Redditors.
To convince her husband that his mother was rummaging through her things, she asked him to sprinkle her doorknob with fine glitter so they could see if she had entered her bedroom. The husband wasn’t happy with the idea but eventually agreed.
However, OP went a step further and rigged a folder with glitter above the door that would fall on her mother-in-law if she entered the room. When the mother-in-law arrived with the other guests, the husband told the woman which bathroom to use and asked her not to go upstairs, but as expected, his mother didn’t listen.
Just when she thought no one was watching, she went upstairs, but as she tried to open the bedroom door, she was completely covered in glitter.
« She completely lost it and started yelling at me, so I yelled back, and now my husband says I went too far. »
The mother-in-law was furious, but the person who should have been angry was OP, who didn’t ask for much, just that her mother-in-law should stay out of her bedroom and not invade her personal space.
The mother-in-law even accused the woman of ruining her car because she couldn’t get rid of all the glitter stuck to the seats of her car.
According to Redditors, the mother-in-law got what she deserved.
