A woman turned to the AITA subreddit to share her struggles with her mother-in-law (MIL). The turmoil began when the MIL announced she would live with the woman and her husband, creating discomfort for the daughter-in-law who reluctantly agreed. Resentment brewed as the MIL struggled to accept her son’s new family dynamics, manipulating him at will.
As the couple had two young children, the MIL took on childcare duties while the husband worked from home. Alarmed by a drastic change in her children’s behavior, the woman, suspecting mistreatment, discreetly installed a camera in the house. To her shock, the footage revealed hours of the MIL verbally abusing the children, referring to them as pigs and monkeys.
Confronting her husband with the evidence, he criticized her for recording private conversations and defended his mother’s behavior. Despite her distress, the husband insisted the children didn’t share her grievances, challenging her decision to restrict MIL’s access to the kids without supervision.
