One Reddit user’s mother-in-law undoubtedly went too far after she decided to invite her son’s ex-girlfriend who is also a baby mama to her son, on a family vacation.
The woman took to Reddit to explain how uncomfortable she is after her mother-in-law dropped the bombshell while they were out grocery shopping.
“My husband John has a six-year-old daughter, Sophie, from a previous relationship. He was with her mom Emma from when they were 14 till 19,” she wrote.
“I have been with my husband for almost four years and we have been married for a year with a nine-month-old daughter and I’m currently pregnant with another daughter,” the Reddit user explained.
“I love Sophie to death, I really do. I view her as my own and treat her like so which has been perfectly okay and completely encouraged by my in-laws and husband, and me and Sophie have an amazing bond.
“This Christmas we are supposed to be going to California to go visit my extended in-laws with Sophie, my daughters, my MIL, FIL, SIL, and 2 BIL, so that the girls can meet their great grandma and all of their cousins around the same age,” she wrote,
Adding that she and her husband had been preparing the trip for a while and she expressed her excitement about it.
That is, until she received a shocking revelation from her mother-in-law while they were out grocery shopping.
“She casually mentions that Emma is planning on coming on the trip but nothing has been set in stone.
“I ask questions about living arrangements and she’s supposed to be staying with all of us in John’s great-grandma’s house. John knew nothing about this by the way,” she wrote.
“I get upset and tell her that I am not okay with that and it feels disrespectful to bring her with us to stay in the same house as John’s wife and expect us to act like a happy little family when this is not her family anymore and never will be.
“And I understand that she’s Sophie’s mom but that’s all she is, nothing more nothing less and if she’s going to bring her along then me and my two girls won’t go,” she added.
“Instantly my MIL snaps at me that I’m a selfish ungrateful b**ch and I have no right to put them in that situation and she’s as much as family as I am which I do not agree with and we just argued until she took me home and things have been tense since.”
“My husband fully agrees with me and says he wouldn’t be comfortable with her going either and he will not go either if his mom is going to let her impose on his first Christmas with his daughter.”
The upset woman is currently asking Reddit users if she is wrong for warning her mother-in-law that they would skip the trip if her husband’s baby momma went along.
One Reddit user commented by saying: ““NTA. Nah, John’s Ex needs to recognize boundaries as well as your MIL.”
Another wrote: ““NTA. Tell that MIL to back off, the Ex is an Ex and you are his wife.”
