People of Reddit rushed to the comments section to support the OP and share their thoughts.
One user wrote, “I’d shout loudly for your husband., ’Your mother needs to be taught basic respect. I’m apparently too barren. Maybe you could try.’”
Another person said, “Yeah, my mother-in-law said some off the wall stuff to me when my husband wasn’t around, and she found herself kicked out with her ears ringing. My husband knows how his mom is, so her crying to him didn’t convince him it wasn’t warranted. You don’t get to come into my home and talk down to me or treat me disrespectfully without being told off and made to leave.”
A third commenter mentioned, “Is OP from a different culture? Why didn’t her husband say anything while OP was waiting on his mother, hand and foot? He probably looked the other way, because it’s her wifely duty.
OP is a good one. How she remained calm after the barren comment is beyond me. Yes, no more disrespecting OP. The maid has quit.”
One more user wrote, “Who even uses the word barren in conversation like that?! You don’t need to be humble!”
One woman commented, “Wow. What an evil person. Sorry, your MIL is disgusting.
I’m ’barren,’ and mine sends me a Mother’s Day card every year because I’m a dog mom and I ’take care of her son’ so I’m still a ’mother.’ She’s very lovely about the whole thing.”
Another Redditor added, “Good for you. I hope you threw her dirty clothes in with the clean. If your husband doesn’t back you up, leave him.”
