A Reddit user took to the platform for advice on whether she would be in the wrong for kicking her mother out of the house that she and her fiancé lived in and paid for because her mother was causing issues.

The original poster (OP) mentioned that she was 39 weeks pregnant and had lived with her mother for a couple of months before finding her place with her fiancé to prepare for their baby.

The woman was 22, and her mother was 45. She let her mother move in with her as she felt it was fair since she had lived with her mother before. However, she clarified that she had lived with her mother in her mother's ex's house, where her mother paid no bills.

While the woman was okay with her mother living with her, she made sure her mother knew that she was not allowed to bring drugs into her daughter's house or smoke indoors.

The mother and daughter also agreed that the mother would do most of the housework as the daughter was heavily pregnant and had been working for most of her pregnancy.

The woman paid for all the household necessities, food, and transportation. However, their issues began when her fiancé moved in with them. She told her mother that since her fiancé was moving in, her mother would have to start looking for another place.

When the woman broke this news to her mother, her mother stopped doing the housework she had done before and began starting arguments with her daughter frequently. The woman also shared that her mother was going against their agreement by constantly smoking in the house.

The fiancé worked, went to school full-time, and took care of the household bills because the woman was on maternity leave. Then the woman explained the "boiling point" of their conflict.

While the three adults had been living together, the sink piled up with dishes one day, and the woman and her fiancé planned to tackle them together when he returned from work. However, the mother got to them first.

The woman explained that she was trying to nap when she heard her mother crashing things around the kitchen, talking about how disgusting it was and that she was treated like a "slave" in the house. The woman explained:

"I didn't tell her to do the dishes; it wasn't even expected. She continued to scream and say that 'she's finding a place.'"

When the woman told her fiancé what happened while he was at work, he told her that he wanted to kick her mother out. She agreed that her mother should leave but was hesitant to kick her out and asked Reddit users for advice.

What Happened When the Fiancé Confronted His Future Mother-In-Law?

The woman said that her fiancé had arrived home from work and asked her to leave so he could talk to her mother. She admitted she didn't want to do it herself because she was afraid of her mother due to a childhood trauma.

Two hours later, the mother had left with her dog. The woman did not know where her mother had gone but didn't care. Although her mother left, she did not take many of her belongings, leaving the woman to pack them up, thinking she would give her mother two weeks to come and collect them. In the meantime, she decided to turn her mother's room into a nursery for her child.

While this woman's issue concerned her mother and partner not getting along, another woman experienced quite the opposite, with her mother loving her partner. Read the full story here.
