My husband gave me an expensive set of matching earrings and a necklace. When his mom saw it, she tried to go on a rant about how spoiled I was, but surprisingly, the father-in-law shut her up.
And a couple of days later, I opened Instagram and became speechless. My mother-in-law posted a photo of her wearing my set with a caption thanking my husband for the early birthday gift to her. At home, my husband and I checked the footage which showed the mother-in-law using her key to get into that house, which I regret giving to her, and coming back out with the box in hand to walk back to her car.
My SIL and other in-laws were calling her out on the theft in the comments. My husband texted and called, trying to get MIL to give the jewelry back, but she has been refusing to since it’s her right to take them because her son wasn’t spending his money on the right things, and I was ungrateful about receiving them.
