35-year-old renovates MIL's house, petty MIL suddenly demands full house payment: 'I do not want to give her any money until we have that paperwork'

A verbal agreement is worth about as much as the paper it's signed on. This couple is discovering that the hard way after they accidentally got on their MIL's bad side. 

This MIL is the kind of person who doesn't speak to 8 of her 9 siblings. That alone should clue you in to her disposition, though the couple in this story adds some more details, too. She's quite petty, she takes things personally, and she is totally fine with burning bridges. 

Some people are just like that. When you meet them, they seem completely nice, but the longer you know them, the more you realize that any little slip-up could set them off. This is the kind of person who makes you walk on eggshells. No matter how nice you are, they'll find some way to make you at fault for their hurt feelings. 

For example, the woman telling this story has been living in her MIL's home and paying rent to her. But now she finds herself on the MIL's bad side after she didn't attend a random family party. No matter that she fixed up the MIL's home (doing some major renovations!). All that matters to the MIL is that she wants to see her family members every single weekend. Since this woman missed a few weekends, the MIL took that personally. It had nothing to do with her, but does she care? Nope. 

Now that she's been slighted, the MIL is demanding to be paid in full for her house! There aren't many average Joes who can just pull like $250,000 out of their pockets to buy a house. Keep scrolling to check out this eye-opening story of MIL drama.
