My MIL Linda moved in "just for a few weeks" while her house was being renovated. I didn’t mind — until she started treating our place like a hotel and me like the maid. She wouldn’t cook. Wouldn’t clean. Wouldn't even rinse her own mug. But then she started leaving passive-aggressive sticky notes targeted at me all around my house to humiliate me and show my husband how inappropriate I was for him. On the stove: "I am here to cook food for your husband. Fresh dish for EACH MEAL." By the mop: "I am here to be used to clean EVERY DAY so your husband doesn’t breathe dust!" On the coffee maker: "A good wife has coffee ready before her husband wakes up." I work full-time. Same as my husband. But somehow, I was the target. I tried to stay calm — maybe she was stressed. Until I got sick and stayed home… and found a note on my pillow. "Rest is earned, not given!!! A wife doesn’t get 'days off.'" That was it. I showed my husband. He said nothing. Just stared at it and walked away. I was broken. But the next morning, I came downstairs…and went pale. My husband and MIL were already waiting for me. Waiting for me. ⬇️
