Woman catches mother-in-law going through her bank statements, she refuses to let her babysit 5-month-old grandchild in return: "My own mother would never invade our privacy"

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In the digital age, privacy isn't something that's a given. You go on an innocent date with someone, and boom -- your texts together have become viral, you're the laughing stock of the town, and suddenly everyone knows what you wore that night and what you ordered at the restaurant. Privacy is almost nonexistent these days. I remember many years ago I was dating a guy who was a lot more into social media than I was. We made some food together for dinner one night, and the next day at work a coworker asked me "how were your noodles last night?" I was shocked and bewildered. "Excuse me?" I asked with hesitation. I guess my boyfriend had uploaded a bunch of photos of our meal together.

For a lot of people, they would see this gesture as one of love, or appreciation, and even a bit of bragging about being in a relationship. But for someone like me, it was jarring. I felt exposed, exploited even. I didn't want other people knowing what I was doing in my off time, in intimate spaces with my partner or anyone else, hence not being involved with social media. We managed to work it out, but privacy is a big thing, and boundaries become essential when they're crossed. Read the full story for all the details.
