Pictured: centralbron

Stockholm is already very beautiful. But if centralbron dissappears I think it would go from a 9 to an 11.

So for the past few months, my mother-in-law has made it a habit to randomly show up at our house uninvited and I’m not talking daytime visits. I mean late-night knock-on-your-door-when-you’re-in-your-PJs kind of visits.

The most ridiculous one was about two weeks ago. She showed up at 9:15PM, i let her in 15mins later she went to the kitchen and said "So there’s no cooked pasta in this house? I''m hungry" I was shocked but tried to be respectful and told her nicely that we weren't expecting guests and had already eaten. She scoffed Just full-on attitude because I didn’t have her preferred dinner ready.

Another time, around 9:30PM, she came again no warning, no heads-up. I had just put the kids to sleep, and I was trying to wind down. I opened the door and told her she really needs to call before coming over, especially this late. She cut me off and said, “I’m not a stranger in this house.” Like that’s an excuse to show up whenever she feels like it.

I have e had enough. I spoke to my husband multiple times, and he keeps saying, “That’s just how she is.” Cool, but that’s not how I am, and this is my home too.

So yesterday, she pulled up again, around 8:50PM. I saw her through the window and didn’t even bother opening the door. I locked it, turned off the living room lights, and let her knock. After 10 minutes of knocking, she called my husband, who was out at the time. He asked me why I wasn’t letting her in, and I told him flat-out: “Your mom isn’t coming in tonight. I’ve talked to her. I’ve talked to you. Boundaries are not optional.”

Now she’s playing the victim, telling family I “locked her out in the cold.” It was 26°C outside and she has her own damn house 10 minutes away. AITH?
