Instead Of Texting Her Husband, This Woman Sent The Message To Mother-In-Law, And Then The Panic Started

ADVERTISEMENT

The mother-in-law relationship can be a difficult one at times. With some good manners, respect and friendly honesty it can be very fulfilling! Try to avoid doing what this woman did though, it can lead to eternal animosity.

Imgur user leoswife746 shared the story of what she dubbed “One of the scariest moments of my life.” The mother-in-law was over on a visit, doting over her new grandchild. Mother-in-law had been having some problems at home recently, however. “She had commented before the baby was born about how the cats were spraying everywhere and they were trying to rehome them,” leoswife explained.

Now maybe it was just a joke, which meant no harm and of course she didn’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings, but leoswife decided to shoot off a cheeky text to her husband, explaining to him that his mother, at that particular time, carried the distinctive smell of cat litter, and piss.

Problem was, it didn’t go to husband. She sent it to mother-in-laws phone instead! Panic mode. What to do? Something like this could surely ruin a great and important relationship for a lifetime. How to correct this horrible mistake?

Scroll down below to see what leoswife did next. What would you have done in this situation? Let us know in the comments!

When you love your husband, you shouldn't write him such things about his mom. It's not a good manner in my opinion

totally agree. Can't imagine what I'll do if someone said my mom smells like cat litter and p**s.

So let me get this straight. She went through ALL that effort to conceal and cover up her actions and then decides "I know of a safe place to hide my story. THE INTERNET! AND I'll post a picture of myself with her phone, because how else will people know it's true." Now that's a special kind of stupid right there. I really hope her mother in law sees this. Don't fail us now Karma!

Let me get this straight, you took the time to write this comment, but didn't take the time to look at the photo credits, to see if it was actually her or not? That's important. I mean, if your going to call someone out, maybe making sure it's actually them, helps you to not look so ignorant.

I would be afraid to put my photo with the story in fear of my mother in law seeing it. Smart and timely thinking though to get rid of the text lol

Can't you read? It clearly states “Image credits: mia.judkins (not an actual photo)” Also, the story is fake.
