Instead Of Texting Her Husband, This Woman Sent The Message To Mother-In-Law, And Then The Panic Started

The mother-in-law relationship can be a difficult one at times. With some good manners, respect and friendly honesty it can be very fulfilling! Try to avoid doing what this woman did though, it can lead to eternal animosity.

Imgur user leoswife746 shared the story of what she dubbed “One of the scariest moments of my life.” The mother-in-law was over on a visit, doting over her new grandchild. Mother-in-law had been having some problems at home recently, however. “She had commented before the baby was born about how the cats were spraying everywhere and they were trying to rehome them,” leoswife explained.

Now maybe it was just a joke, which meant no harm and of course she didn’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings, but leoswife decided to shoot off a cheeky text to her husband, explaining to him that his mother, at that particular time, carried the distinctive smell of cat litter, and piss.

Problem was, it didn’t go to husband. She sent it to mother-in-laws phone instead! Panic mode. What to do? Something like this could surely ruin a great and important relationship for a lifetime. How to correct this horrible mistake?

When you love your husband, you shouldn't write him such things about his mom. It's not a good manner in my opinion

totally agree. Can't imagine what I'll do if someone said my mom smells like cat litter and p**s.

My thoughts exactly, I can't personally imagine how that statement would come up during a convo, unless it was an argument and she was losing and that was her last ditch effort to have a comeback before it got awkward, but in the end I think calling her husband a "big meany doo-doo kaka face" would be more mature than saying something so mean about her mother in law behind her back to her son, but that's my opinion😳

Many people bring a child into the world and have no one to dote on them. She has been rude and mean and she is a liar too. Baby time is stressful but it is time to count blessings not hate It is easy to get frustrated with your MIL but I think this is wake up call to me to be kinder. Would she want her baby's future significant other talking about her that way one day.

So let me get this straight. She went through ALL that effort to conceal and cover up her actions and then decides "I know of a safe place to hide my story. THE INTERNET! AND I'll post a picture of myself with her phone, because how else will people know it's true." Now that's a special kind of stupid right there. I really hope her mother in law sees this. Don't fail us now Karma!

I would be afraid to put my photo with the story in fear of my mother in law seeing it. Smart and timely thinking though to get rid of the text lol

Can't you read? It clearly states “Image credits: mia.judkins (not an actual photo)” Also, the story is fake.
