MIL Demands Free Painting From Woman She Constantly Made Fun Of: “It’s Not A Serious Job”

If one’s only exposure to mother’s-in-law was internet stories and somewhat dated sitcoms, one could be forgiven for believing that this role required a sort of controlling, permanently entitled monster. But some less-than-fortunate individuals do actually have in-laws that suggest that some of these stories must be true.

A woman asked the internet for some advice after getting badmouthed and insulted by her mother-in-law. Her MIL had already spent years mocking her art career, until she decided that she was entitled to a free drawing which would normally be thousands of dollars.

    I love how those people say that making art is not "real job" while curating some BS imaginary numbers that only make rich people richer is an epitome of a "real job".

    I'd respond by saying "this gold digging welfare queen cannot afford to give away free art to the person who called me that". Leave it right there, let it implode. Walk away. And give your husband a kick up the jacksie because he is allowing this b******t.
