She Became Furious After She Was Told She Can No Longer Help Repair Their Home

One woman initially allowed her mother-in-law to help with repairing their home, but retracted her decision, causing a fall-out with her in-laws.

Couple Moves Out Of State

A 25-year-old woman, who we’ll call Rachelle, is questioning whether she was in the wrong after having a falling out with her 60-year-old mother-in-law. The conflict began when Rachelle and her husband decided to move out of state for his job. The mother-in-law was upset and made it clear that she didn’t want them to go. However, they had to do what was best for their family.

Plans To Sell House

The couple was in the process of selling their house when a potential buyer requested some repairs before committing to the purchase. The mother-in-law offered to do the repairs, and at first, Rachelle was grateful for her help. But things quickly went downhill when the mother-in-law started taking over the project and not listening to their input.

Heated Argument Leads To Falling Out

After a heated argument, Rachelle decided to take over the repairs herself, leading to a distant and cold relationship with her mother-in-law. Rachelle questions whether she was justified in standing up for herself and her family’s needs.

Rachelle Worried Repairs Won’t Be Done Properly

“I tried to talk to her about it and explain that we appreciated her help, but we also needed to make sure the repairs were done correctly. She didn’t take kindly to my feedback and accused me of not trusting her,” Rachelle said. “I’ve tried to reach out and apologize for any misunderstandings, but she’s not interested in making amends.”

Is The MIL Qualified?

Many believe that she was right to stand up for herself and her family.

One person said, “You can’t trust her to make sure the repairs get done correctly.” This sentiment was echoed by others who questioned the mother-in-law’s qualifications to handle the repairs.

Why Did Rachelle Allow Her To Help?

Another questioned why Rachelle even allowed her mother-in-law to handle the repairs in the first place, given the tension caused by their decision to move. They asked, “What compelled you to let her do this in the first place, knowing she didn’t want you to leave. I would immediately be cautious of her purposely doing more damage to keep you here. Is she a certified repairman? I’m not sure what type of repairs are being made but usually they have to pass inspection. Why would you risk all of this?”
