Establishing boundaries with parents and in-laws can be challenging for newlyweds. But when setting these rules, it's important to maintain a healthy relationship with and respect for both the parents and your spouse.
Newlyweds can achieve this by creating clear rules in their home. Then communicating these rules to their parents.
Marriage is a commitment, so it's important to prioritize one's spouse. A married person should also limit their parents' interference as it could be detrimental to the relationship.
If setting boundaries remains too challenging for the married couple, the next step is to seek professional help. Marriage counselors can help navigate couples in establishing healthy boundaries with their parents.
But there's one Redditor who decided to kick her parents out of her home because they were just too disrespectful. After what she did, she wondered if it was the right decision.
The original poster (OP) is a woman who has a wife and two beautiful daughters. According to her, their sexuality isn't an issue with her parents.
However, the OP's wife is not too good with people. One day, her parents wanted to come over to their place.
Her wife agreed. But there's one room they should never enter as it is used for her work.
Even their kids understand that they shouldn't enter this room. But even after the OP warned her parents not to come in, her mom didn't listen.
She entered the room two times. So she decided to get a hotel room for her parents and kicked them out of her home.
Now, she's being called the a-hole by her relatives.
The OP opened up about her issue with the “Am I The A**hole?” (AITA) subreddit.
RedditThe OP's wife and her parents aren't close.
Still, the OP's parents wanted to come over.
RedditThe OP's wife uses one room as her office. She allowed no one inside except for the OP.
RedditThe OP's mom disrespected her wife's request not once, but twice.
So she reserved a hotel for her parents and kicked them out of her home. Was she wrong to do this?
RedditSome Redditors are praising the toddler for being a better person than her grandma.
RedditIt was the OP's mom who started the drama.
RedditYou'd expect her mom to be mature enough, but...
RedditIt could cost the OP's wife her job if someone else looks at certain documents.
RedditThe OP's mom doesn't understand this.
RedditThe OP's mom doesn't know how to listen.
RedditThe OP made the right choice, according to most Redditors.
RedditThe OP's mom needs to respect the rules.
RedditThe mom has no business in there.
RedditA Redditor finds the mom's behavior creepy.
RedditA user suspects that the mom is just being nosey.
RedditIf there's someone who should apologize, it should be the OP's mom.
RedditEven other people would be upset if someone else messes up their workspace.
RedditThis mom should place herself in her daughter-in-law's shoes.
RedditLooks like someone's digging dirt.
RedditThe mom should know better than snoop around someone's workspace.
RedditIf this mom doesn't know how to respect boundaries, then it's better to ban her from this home.
RedditThe OP was already clear about the boundaries she set with her parents. It's really the mom who's the issue here.
All she needed was to listen to her daughter's request, but she didn't. It's clear who's at fault here.
We hope the OP's relatives listen to her side too.
