This woman's mom still hasn't accepted the fact that her daughter isn't married to a doctor. And apparently she takes every chance she gets to tell this guy that he's not a perfect, wonderful rich doctor. It was obvious that she needed to get her priorities straight, so this guy fired back a nice insult that straightened them out for her. Now that's a nice slam dunk akin to this brother who decimated his brother with a sick burn at his wedding.

In the end, people pointed out the obvious. Particularly, that this woman never should have tolerated her mom being a complete bag to her husband, and the fact that it got like this in the first place is sort of her fault, thus earning her, OP, the title of asshole.

For some more out of control in-laws, here's the mother-in-law who announced a couple's pregnancy before they themselves told anyone and then refused to delete it.

    Font - Y r/AmItheAsshole · Posted by u/CherryBlossom7997 3 days ago 5 7 33 AITA for refusing to make my husband apologize for what he said to my mom at dinner table? Asshole So, I f31 recently got married to my husband Scott m36. Before I met him I was engaged to my former fiance Martin, but we broke it off because this relationship was sort of pushed by my family because he's a doctor and comes from a wealthy family. When our relationship ended mom was devastated. She did her best to bring us b

Mom kept telling Scott about the diamond ring, new car, and bank account Martin got for his fiancee and kept sending him photos saying how generous Martin is to his fiancee than compared him to Scott and what he had done for me. I told her stop doing this and she apologized.

    Font - Last week, we were over at my parents house for a social gathering, lot of relatives came and we had dinner. At dinner table mom asked Scott if he saw the text she sent him the other day, he said he was sorry and that he didn't notice. She told him to check it right then and read it out loud so everyone at the table could hear. He took his phone and started reading the text out loud. Her text mentioned how Martin got his fiancee a new house and how generous he was, then said that Martin i

The thought of all the children that must've been left behind!". Everyone at the table busted into laughter and mom's face went pale. She decided to leave the table then she and my sister started yelling at

    Font - ShelyChelle - 3 days ago S Partassipant [1] Why? I have to say, YTA for brushing your mom's behavior to the side, stop being around that type of nastiness, if I were your husband, I would have put my foot down, no more of your mom's visits, if she comes over, and no more visiting, if you want to go, go alone...you obviously ha ent done enough to put your mom in her place, if the tables were turned, you would want to be defended against your inlaws

    Font - VegemilB - 3 days ago YTA for not standing up for Scott more. From your post, he can fight his battles just fine, but your sister and your mother needs to know that their actions are not okay. Scott sounds like a keeper. Maybe choose him over your busybody mom.

    Font - FunnyRingaling - 3 days ago she treats him well but constantly makes passive, nagging comments about him. You realize that these two statements directly contradict each other right? Also I dont think you're both trying to let it slide. I think you're a coward who should have actually stood up for your fiance years ago but haven't so here we are...

She decided to leave the table then she and my sister started yelling at me saying Scott was being awfully rude and I need to get him to apologize immediately forembarrassing mom at the table. What about your mom embarrassing Scott at the table? Is she going to apologize for that?

    Font - MotherOfDoggos4 · 3 days ago Partassipant [2] OP please tell Scott that made me literally laugh out loud and I would've paid money to be there to see that. If he apologizes for clapping back I will lose all respect for him. That was absolutely brilliant. NTA
