My MIL Brought Three Young Women into Our Home Because I Wasn’t Enough for Her Son, So I Got My Perfect Revenge – Story of the Day
At forty, my life was a whirlwind. Three kids, a demanding job, and a husband, Ross, chasing unpaid internships. Our romance had faded amid cold dinners and bills. My mother-in-law, Linda, moved in “to help,” but her arrival brought chaos.
One evening, I came home to find three young women—Linda’s former students—living in my house, folding laundry, tutoring my twins, and cutting Ross’s hair. Linda hadn’t mentioned them, claiming they needed a place to stay temporarily. I was livid but held my tongue.
The next day, I took a personal day and called in three male helpers: Noah, a landscaper; Mike, a plumber; and Dean, a handyman. They fixed the house while Linda’s “girls” watched, stunned. Tensions rose as Linda questioned my actions, but I countered her hypocrisy.
The turning point came when I showed Ross a photo of Linda’s laptop, revealing a chart matching him with the women. Furious, Ross sent everyone away. Alone at last, he apologized for not supporting me. I shared my promotion news, and we found peace, finally free from the chaos.
