She Makes Her Mother-In-Law Uncomfortable Because She Keeps Barging Into the Bathroom. Is She Wrong?

You know how some people just don’t have any boundaries?

They’re pretty annoying, right?

You bet they are!

And you’re about to hear from a woman who’s putting up with a mother-in-law that doesn’t seem to have any boundaries at all.

But did she go too far?

Let’s see what the heck is going on here…

“So, my MIL (I’m a gal btw lol) came to stay with us for few weeks til her home is renovated for christmas.

The problem is that she has been randomly walking in on me while I’m in the bathroom. Thankfully not once has she seen me naked because I started picking up on her behavior after the second time in a week.

She’d barge in, then turns and says “oh sorry” then close the door. I tried talking to my husband about it but he kept ignoring me then flatout said “so what if she accidently seen you naked? She’s faaaammmillly!!”. He seriously said that!.

We have a lock and I could’ve used it but I have past trauma from the idea of locking/being locked in a room after my brother locked me in the bathroom when I was 5.

So I came up with this idea. I’d go inside the bathroom pretending to use it and wait for her to come (cause honestly? It’s deliberate at the this point). When she “accidently” barges in she’d see me in a weird/awkward position. For example doing a ballet stand, standing on the toilet, or standing facing the wall with my hands up, (fully clothed of course).

I could see how awkward and weird this would be for her because she’d stand there for few seconds trying to figure out what I was doing. It was hilarious at first seeing her initial confusion but she told my husband about it claiming “she’s caught me practicing rituals in the bathroom”. I cleared things up and revealed the reason why.

My husband was livid. He called me childish and said that I made his mom feel “terrified/weirded out” by my behavior. He said I should’ve acted maturely and locked the d**n door instead of playing mind games.”

Here’s what Reddit users had to say about this.

One person said she’s NTA…but that her husband is an a**hole.

This reader had a good idea of what she should do next time…

And this Reddit user said this is messed up and her MIL sounds crazy.

Has nobody ever heard of boundaries?!?
