A 36-year-old woman turned to Reddit after kicking out her 72-year-old mother-in-law, who had moved in to help her prepare for her baby’s arrival. While the two usually got along well, the woman admitted her mother-in-law could be overbearing and had little respect for boundaries.

When the older woman moved in, she began cleaning and rearranging the home. The final straw came when the woman returned from work to find her mother-in-law had bagged up her cherished trinkets—items collected over years—and donated them to Goodwill, insisting the house was “too cluttered for a baby.”

Shocked and furious, the woman demanded she leave that night, booking her a hotel room and calling a taxi. Her husband was livid when he came home, accusing her of being ungrateful for his mother’s help.

Now, the woman wonders if she went too far, while many online readers debate whether her reaction was justified or if she should have shown more patience.
