Woman Gets Called Out For Throwing Tantrums And Leaving After Going To Her FIL's House Uninvited For Christmas
We should always call and confirm with the person whose house we are going to, even if it is our parents.
Going to someone's home without their permission is rude. It makes people feel uncomfortable because they are not prepared for guests.
They may not have cleaned up after themselves, have things out that shouldn't be out, or aren't ready. We should always first ask ourselves, "Why should we go to someone's home uninvited?" because this is a serious question.
Sometimes it can be tempting to go to other people's homes or invite them over as soon as we see them alone at home. It may seem like nobody is around to take care of them, or they need company to liven up the atmosphere.
However, we should refrain from doing so and putting them in a miserable situation. We must think about how people would feel if an uninvited guest were in their own homes.
They would probably be unhappy and agitated. Moreover, they would likely be upset with us because we did not call or even text them to ask for permission before coming over to their homes without an invitation!
If you analyze whether the person wants you to come over, then you should offer to buy something for them. If they are willing to accept the offer, it's fine to go to their house.
If they decline your offer, it would be best not to force yourself upon them because forcing oneself on another person is very impolite and usually makes them feel uncomfortable.
If you realize that they are not very keen on company, it would be best to leave. Turn around and politely say, "Well, I apologize for bothering you."
Probably, because making your husband drive for two hours just to come back immediately isn't right!
AmItheAssholeWell, the fault is yours. It is impolite to go to anyone's house without informing them.
AmItheAssholeWho even opens the gifts without the gift actually being handed over to them? It is rude.
AmItheAsshole
Yes, the husband would have been tired after driving for two long hours! He certainly would need rest.

AmItheAsshole
It's good that the lady knows where she is going wrong in life!
AmItheAsshole
She is not even living up to being a good parent by letting her kids open a gift that is not theirs.
AmItheAsshole
A two-hour drive is a long way to someone's home; hence, a text saying we're on the way would have been nice.
AmItheAsshole
That's right, even if the gift was for the kids, she should have let the FIL give it to the kids himself.
AmItheAsshole
This lady just tried to take away the satisfaction of seeing his grandchildren smile after receiving gifts.
AmItheAsshole
OP went wrong in so many ways!
AmItheAsshole
It is rude to go over uninvited and open the gifts without the permission of the giver.
AmItheAsshole
A two-month-old plan should definitely be confirmed, given the fact that FIL is old and might have forgotten.
AmItheAsshole
Making the kids open something that is not theirs is feeding them some wrong habits.
AmItheAsshole
The MIL doesn't seem to be wrong in any way, since they are already not on good terms, plus they tampered with her gifts.
AmItheAsshole
This woman is seriously leading her kids down the wrong path; they might grow up to be robbers.
AmItheAsshole
Letting themselves into the house without the owner's knowledge is breaking in, which is wrong.
AmItheAsshole
Even if the gifts are for the kids, opening them and then putting them back, pretending not to have done so, is unacceptable.
AmItheAsshole
It was very indecent behavior to go for Christmas without taking anything for whoever you are visiting.
AmItheAsshole
Even after reaching the home, since no one was opening the door, a call would have been a nice option.
AmItheAsshole
After all the mistakes, being egotistical and ruining everyone's Christmas is the most evil thing to do as a person.
AmItheAsshole
If visiting someone uninvited, ask the individual before visiting and never go inside their house without an invitation. If they invite you in, be respectful of their belongings and stay out of areas where you're not allowed.
Share this with your friends and family and tell them not to behave the way this woman did, and to be pleasant and polite individuals.
