I have no idea why this is so common; I’ve heard and watched so many related stories. Mothers-in-law are, not for nothing, represented in so many folk tales like this. They act very jealous with their sons; they sabotage relationships; they always present themselves as ‘the one who knows best’, and every time a husband is on their side, you are sure to lose.

Bride-to-be specifically asks her wedding guests to wear any colour but white and green for the ceremony and mother-in-law buys two white and green dresses: '“It’s like champagne” she said as she looked it up, and I just knewwww!!'

Very often, our parents want to help us or gift us something to make our lives easier, and they end up making it way more complicated. When we're offered something like this, we tend to accept because we want THEM to feel they are collaborating in some way, not because we really want what's being gifted to us.

Bride allows her mother to organize an afterparty for townhall ceremony and it results in inlaws refusing to attend: 'I instantly panicked and started blaming myself. I figured I must have said something to offend her or made her feel unwelcome somehow.'

We all use the strategies we can to obtain what we want. In a world where money doesn’t grow on trees, it seems that some people are willing to push logic to its very edges to feel like they’re entitled to something. This sister-in-law didn’t waste a second of her time debating whether she was in the wrong; she knew it was ridiculous from the start, but hey, she got to experience her present for ten long years, right?

Woman demands sister-in-law to return a kindle her father lended to her more than a decade ago: 'He said she was tripping (not his words but, you know) and that IF I chose to "return" it, the conditions weren't specified'

Homeowner lets 21‑year‑old relative live with her, but she secretly books expensive hotels over “noise” and sends her dad to complain instead of speaking up: ‘She thinks my house is unreasonably loud when it is just me living there'

Sometimes doing a good deed can get out of hand. At first, you do it because you can and because it has a positive impact on the other person; then you begin to wonder whether the positive impact would be to let that same person be aware of their reality and where they stand, even though it can hurt a little at first.

There are always many sides to a story, and depending on which you tell it from, it benefits one side or the other. In this son’s particular case, I don’t think it’s even that problematic; the person he messed with was doing something bad. He wonders whether or not he should have stepped into the situation at all.

Son defends father of being kicked out by digging into coordinator's records and finding shady information: 'My dad says I did the right thing but part of me wonders if I shouldve just let him handle it his own way instead of getting involved like that'
