Relationships
ADVERTIsem*nT
Nobody likes others snooping around their stuff, especially if it’s your mother in law. As for most of us, if getting along wasn’t hard enough already, this could put a whole new level of pressure on the relationship.
Recently one woman took it to r/AITA to ask for some advice regarding the situation at her house. It turns out that when her fiance’s mom comes over, “she’s kind of a snoop,” and added that although he was used to that, for her “it’s so uncomfortable because she’s just going through my sh*t.” And I can feel for her. But the tension reached boiling point after the MIL found the author’s “little ‘affirmation’ post it note” to boost her confidence and dared to make “a comment about my ego…”
So the author rolled up her sleeves and made a plan to hide embarrassing notes all around her house for her nosy MIL to feast on. The result was somewhat hilarious but her fiance is saying she’s making “stuff hard for him.” Read the full story below and share your thoughts on this whole family drama in the comments!

I'm a Visual Editor at Bored Panda since 2017. I've searched through a multitude of images to create over 2000 diverse posts on a wide range of topics. I love memes, funny, and cute stuff, but I'm also into social issues topics. Despite my background in communication, my heart belongs to visual media, especially photography. When I'm not at my desk, you're likely to find me in the streets with my camera, checking out cool exhibitions, watching a movie at the cinema or just chilling with a coffee in a cozy place

NTA and to be honest, after reading it all + updates I'd reconsider this guy moving in. He let his mom go through his stuff because she "helped with laundry and dishes"? How much of laundry and dishes did this dude have in his solo place, that he needed help?!? To me it sounds more like he's not at all independent adult but very much still a momma's boy, and she still takes care of him and his chores. Not only his mom won't stop, he won't be of any help at home either. Just drop his a**, with his mom and her big nose.

That caught my eye also. Fully expecting another topic about this relationship in a couple years about this guy not doing any chores or cleaning up after himself. It seems like OP is moving in with the MIL to co-parent the boy.

this is the moment you define how she will treat you and your house for years to come. This is also the easiest time to set boundaries, as it's the start. Much harder down the line.

Seen this on another Bored Panda where the wife's Mom had no boundaries with the daughter, the hubby sent a VERY racy text about what he's wanting to do with his wife to the wife's phone, heard the 'ping' and his MIL then whispering to her about that content of that message. The wife/daughter shut down the big snoop with "what we do is between two consenting adults" That is what an independent Adult does to shut down a person who oversteps private matters.

I'd dump him. She asked multiple times to talk to his mother, and he's constantly downplaying the problem instead of addressing it. It's clear to me that neither the son nor the mother has any respect for her. God, I hate people who don't respect other people's boundaries and privacy.
