My MIL Sabotaged Every Job Interview I Got – I Had Enough & Brought Her Back Down to Earth
When my mother-in-law, Catherine, moved in “for a few months,” I thought it’d help my wife, Rachel. Instead, it turned into chaos.
I was job-hunting, desperate for a better IT role, but every interview from home was ruined — loud TV, slamming pots, even banging on the door mid-call to open a jar of pickles.
After five failed interviews, I’d had enough. When I asked for quiet, she smirked, “Maybe you’re just not cut out for it.”
So, I taught her a lesson. I subscribed to every premium service — Netflix, HBO, Spotify, even Bollywood Gold — all charged to her card.
The next morning, she screamed over the bills. I told her, “Since you don’t want me working, consider it your contribution.”
She moved out a week later. The silence was bliss.
Two weeks after that, I got the job.
Lesson: Sometimes, silence only comes when the bill does.
