Wife Plants A Glitter Bomb To Catch Her MIL Snooping Around The Bedroom
This clever wife not only catches her MIL but also takes her revenge with this perfectly planned trap.
Parents have a way of being over-involved in their kids' lives. They have the duty of protecting their children, so it may seem natural to want to look through your child's belongings if you suspect them of wrongdoing.
But let's break down some points as to why it doesn't work to be constantly snooping around in your child's business. Whether it's a parent, in-laws, or siblings, poking around in your loved ones' personal space only leads to problems.
Snooping often doesn't help; it can lead to more issues. It's better to help, not hurt, your child in this process. Parents' lives are stressful enough, so it can be a relief to allow kids a certain level of independence and just trust them.
Trust is built through open communication and spending time together, not by snooping around. An essential part of trust is allowing your children space to make their own choices and helping them abide by those choices.
Privacy is an important aspect of one's life, and every person needs space and privacy to live happily and develop well. Trusting your children with a degree of privacy can be a way to support them, no matter how old they are.
As it stands, snooping is already a nuisance. Even if you don't find anything terrible going on, there's little chance that snooping will improve your relationship with your children.
Nobody likes their personal space invaded, not even by their own parents. This story is about a girl whose MIL constantly tried to invade her privacy and look through her bills and other belongings by making excuses and going into their bedroom.
All that glitters is not gold, but a golden chance to catch your bedroom invader red-handed.
itsbettertobeluckyMIL seems to be on a secret mission to find something fishy in her DIL's bedroom.
itsbettertobeluckyThat, right there, is a red flag: lying instead of owning up after being caught in the act.
itsbettertobelucky
So the smart DIL sensed something was wrong and took immediate action after seeing the first red flag.
itsbettertobelucky
Either the MIL has dementia, or she is pretending. In this case, the latter option seems appropriate.
itsbettertobelucky
The MIL is making the daughter feel uncomfortable and cautious in her own house.
itsbettertobelucky
When the husband doesn't want to believe that his mother is wrong, present some really strong proof!
itsbettertobelucky
The DIL's detective game is way too strong for a regular SAHM.
itsbettertobelucky
Apart from gathering evidence, the DIL improved her game and decided to get her revenge.
itsbettertobelucky
So the husband is also playing his part and proving to be a supportive partner here.
itsbettertobelucky
The bigger problem here seems to be the husband's overprotective nature towards his mother.
itsbettertobelucky
SILs are more open-minded and can easily differentiate between right and wrong.
itsbettertobelucky
It was necessary in order to retain your marriage and keep it going smoothly with your husband.
itsbettertobelucky
Or leave a printed note saying, "You ain't gonna find anything here, lol."
itsbettertobelucky
The husband should understand that he isn't a kid anymore and should set limits for his mother.
itsbettertobelucky
It's time to speak up for yourself if the husband doesn't, and enforce some strict rules for anyone disrespecting your personal boundaries.
itsbettertobelucky
Well, with all the glitter around, it indeed was a heroic moment to catch the MIL in action.
itsbettertobelucky
The MIL needs to apologize for being in the wrong place and for spilling glitter all over the floor.
itsbettertobelucky
It's easier to clean up the dirt from the floor caused by the MIL, but what about the dirt in her brain?
itsbettertobelucky
When a 7-year-old could understand that, then I don't understand why her husband couldn't.
itsbettertobelucky
That seems like a possibility, but OP is smart and has a way around every problem she faces.
itsbettertobelucky
OMG! Gotta say this plan is better than catching the MIL red-handed because she is not even going to accept it.
itsbettertobelucky
That was the result of her own deeds; the MIL was asking for it.
itsbettertobelucky
If the room was covered in police tape, the MIL would have been more interested in knowing what's inside.
itsbettertobelucky
Well, the husband clearly tried to play it safe from both sides.
itsbettertobelucky
Every parent wants to know what's going on in their child's life, but there's a thin line between knowing what your child is doing and spying on them to see what they are up to. It is absolutely wrong when your child is old enough and married.
