As much as I get along with my mother-in-law, and I honestly do get along with her, I will never agree to have her living in my home. It is simply a recipe for disaster, both for the relationship between the two women and for the relationship of the couple themselves. 

This is why it is actually not that surprising that the woman in this Reddit story has reached a breaking point because of her MIL (mother-in-law). For some reason, MIL has started living with OP (original poster), her husband, and their kids. That led to a seriously unhealthy relationship between OP's 7-year-old stepson and MIL, which went as far as the stepson sleeping in his grandmother's bed every night. OP tried putting her foot down and educating her stepson, but was met with resistance both from him and from her MIL. That until OP decided to simply give up and stop taking an active part in her stepson's parenting.
