[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] She was trying to help, made a mistake and it escalated. Such a big deal over a cup. They both need to realize they are being babies.  Actually, my babies would’ve made up by now and not fight over a cup. [/quote]

I don't think you have a relative like this. It is very invasive to have someone go through your stuff. I actually loathe it when someone related to me tries to do anything more than a dinner clean up at my home. I don't like people in my closets/drawers/cabinets etc and would be really upset if someone tried to clean and organize for me. It would be an invasion of privacy. I would also be very upset if someone threw away something that meant something to me.

She 'tries to help' in ways that cause friction and discord on a regular basis. That isn't trying to help, that is trying to control and insert herself in an arena where she is clearly not welcome.

OP you need to tell your mom that cleaning in your home is not helpful. And that she should NOT clean anything in your home under any circumstances. That should solve this problem entirely. MIL doesn't clean and she can't do anything to make the two of you mad. [/quote]

You’re right. I don’t. I interpreted it like the cup was sitting out in she was picking up trash and cleaning up and it went In the trash.  I wouldn’t like it if somebody went through my things either. But I would also be understanding if something was accidentally tossed.  I understand there are many other issues and her situation and a history of bad feelings between her husband and her mom.  So in essence this might not be about the cup but about everything else that’s happened.[/quote]
