\nMel and her MIL Laura were always in a rocky relationship. Laura was a type of person who would act as if she knew everything. Her husband Edward, and his brother Michael, were Laura\u2019s gift to the world, as she would think.\n
In her mind, she was thinking that her children were the best in the world.\n
One day, Edward revealed to Mel that his mother would punish them for the tiniest mistake they would make. They had a terrible childhood as Edward revealed.\n
They had many traumas from Laura\u2019s parenting skills.\n
For their second anniversary, back in time, they decided to threw a small party.\n
\n
Everything started greatly. The food, the guests, the music\u2026 Everything were great. Then Laura arrived. She was a dark cloud on their sunny sky.\n
She wanted to talk with Mel privately, and handed her an envelope. She wanted her to open the envelope, which she described as her \u201cgift,\u201d after the party was over.\n
Mel was surprised as she was not expecting Laura to buy them a gift.\n
When the party was over, and the guests were left, Mel opened the envelope, which shocked her.\n
There was a list of expenses Laura paid while raising her son, and she wanted them back from Mel now, as if she ordered Edward into her life.\n
Diapers \u2014 $2,500\n
School supplies \u2014 $1,200\n
Sports equipment \u2014 $1,100\n
College tuition \u2014 $25,000\n
Emotional support \u2014 $10,000\n
\u201cNurturing a loving son for you\u2019\u201d\u2014 priceless (with a smiley face)\n
The couple were shocked, as they were aware that Laura wanted the money really. This was not a joke.
\n
\n
Then Mel made her own bill for Laura. Her birthday was around the corner, and she was going to throw a party. This was the perfect opportunity for her to hit back.\n
When the big day arrived short after, Mel used the same method for her gift. After that, Laura never talked with them.\n
Here is the Mel\u2019s list;\n
Listening to her criticize my cooking \u2014 $5,000\n
Smiling through backhanded compliments at family dinners \u2014 $8,000\n
Pretending not to notice when she \u201caccidentally\u201d forgets my birthday \u2014 $1,000\n
The therapy sessions after her constant interference in our marriage \u2014 $30,000\n
Teaching her son what a normal family looks like \u2014 $20,000\n
\u201cEmotional support for dealing with her drama\u201d\u2014 priceless\n
