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 your 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 could be tempting to go to other people's homes or invite them over our homes as soon as we see them alone at home. It may seem like nobody is around to take care of them, or they need a company to liven up the atmosphere.
But, 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 probably be distraught with us because we did not call or even text them to ask permission before coming over to their homes without an invitation!
You can analyze if 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 very uncomfortable.
If you realize that they are not very keen on a 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!

Well, the fault is yours. It is impolite to go to anyone's house without informing them.

Who even opens the gifts without the gift actually being handed over to you. It is rude.

Yes, the husband would have been tired after driving for two long hours! he certainly would need rest.


Its good that the lady knows where she is going wrong in life!

She is not evening living up to be a good parent for letting her kids open a gift which is not theirs.

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.

That's right, even if the gift was for the kids should have let the FIL give it to the kids himself.

This lady just tried to take away the satisfaction of seeing his grandchildren smile after receiving gifts.

OP went wrong in so many ways!

It is rude to go over uninvited and open the gifts without the permission of the giver.

A two month old plan should definitely be confirmed, given the fact that FIL is old and might have forgotten.

Making the kids open something that is not theirs is feeding them with some wrong habits.

The MIL doesn't seem to be wrong in any way, since they are already not in good terms plus they hampered with her gifts

This woman is seriously leading her kids to the wrong path, might grow up to be robbers.

They let themselves in the house without the owner's knowledge is breaking in, which is wrong.

Even if the gifts are for the kids, opening and then putting it back pretending to have not done that is unacceptable.

It was a very indecent behavior to go for Christmas and not taking anything for whoever you are going to visit.

Even after reaching the home since no one was opening the door, a call would have been a nice option.

After all the mistakes, being egoistic and ruining everyone's Christmas is the most evil thing to do as a person.

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 where you're not allowed.
Share this with your friends and family and tell them not to behave the way this woman did and be a pleasant and polite person.
