The woman has a great relationship with her three kids, but her eldest daughter has always been particularly needy and loves being cuddled. When her in-laws tell her it’s wrong to cuddle a teenager, the woman kicks them out of her home.
Three Children
The woman has three kids. She has a girl, aged 15, and two boys aged 7 and 12. They’re great kids, and she’s always had a brilliant relationship with each of them.
A Cuddly Child
Her eldest daughter has always been a cuddler from an early, and that suits the woman perfectly. She’s always been very tactile herself so she enjoys it when her daughter reaches out.
A Visit from the Inlaws
Recently, her laws came to visit for a few days. Everyone gets on really well and they enjoy spending time together as a family. They filled their days with activities for the kids and relaxing evenings.
Closer than Her Own Parents
The woman has a great deal of respect for her in-laws. She feels as though she gets along with them brilliantly, and has always considered them closer than her own parents.
A Family Night In
One of the evenings, they had dinner and decided to watch a movie together. The two youngest kids had been on about a film they wanted to see for ages, so they all sat down to watch a kid’s movie at their request. Not ideal, but they didn’t mind as the youngest two were entertained.
Too Young for Her
Her eldest daughter became bored with the movie. She said she was too old to watch kids’ movies and started getting fidgety. Eventually, she started to snuggle up to the woman and go to sleep.
Time without the Kids
After the movie was over, the kids to bed and went to their rooms, and the adults carried on chatting for a while longer. They opened a couple of bottles of wine and started talking about anything and everything.
A Shock Comment
At one stage, there was a short silence, and she glanced at her father-in-law who looked a bit troubled. She asked if he was alright. He let it drop that he thought it was inappropriate that the woman still cuddled with her 15-year-old.
Assumes It’s a Joke
The woman is confused that he’s brought it up suddenly, but she is prepared to laugh it off and just assume it has something to do with the alcohol. She laughs at the comment and chooses to ignore it.
A Unanimous Agreement
Prepared to let the comment go and move on to another topic, the woman is really shocked when her husband and mother-in-law both agree with the statement. They say that he’s right; it IS too old to be cuddling a parent, and that she should know better!
Stands up for Herself
When they’re all just sitting and staring at her, she starts to feel wound up! She tells them, “Leave me alone! I’ll cuddle my daughter if I want to!” The woman still half-believes that it’s a wind-up!
The Conversation Heightens
When they continue to say that a 15-year-old is way too old to be cuddled and that it’s setting a really bad example, the woman feels herself getting angrier. Her husband comments, “Yeah, I often think this too!”
Lacking Backbone
Her husband continues to say that she’s too mollycoddled and won’t learn any life skills. His parents agree. His father says, “She can’t be turning to someone for a cuddle every time things get a bit tough in life!”
A Raging Anger
The woman is FURIOUS by this point. They’re all laughing at the last comment and making jokes about various extreme situations where their grandaughter might say, “Please can I have a cuddle?!”
They’re Belittling Her
The woman interrupts the animated laughter and says, “You do realize you’re all joking about your own granddaughter and daughter! Do you think that’s fair?” They all look at her, shocked at her outburst.
A Nasty Comment
There is a brief silence before her husband says, “Let’s just hope she doesn’t want to join the army! You’ll have to join up too!” Once again, they’re all laughing incessantly at the joke.
She Storms Off
At that point, the woman slams her glass down and marches off to bed. She’s absolutely irate that her own family would be so cruel to both her and her daughter. She hears them laughing still as she climbs into bed.
Demands an Apology
The next day, there’s tension in the air, and everyone goes off and does their own thing. Her husband speaks to her and says she needs to apologize for being so rude to them. She can’t believe what she hears and ignores him.
An Element of Guilt
The woman is mad at herself for feeling guilty, but she’s never experienced a falling out with her in-laws so it’s very uncomfortable. She refuses to apologize, however, and tells her husband she shouldn’t have to.
The Final Blow
When her in-laws come back later on, her mother-in-law tells her that she shouldn’t have overreacted. She says, “It’s just that it’s a bit inappropriate to be cuddling a teenager!”
She Kicks Them Out
No longer able to handle her temper, the woman screams at her mother-in-law. “How DARE you imply such a thing! She’s my DAUGHTER!” Her mother-in-law looks shocked, and the woman demands that they leave at once. And that she has no intention of apologizing! EVER!
