She looked mentally unwell? She appeared to suffer from a diagnosable metal illness?

Do you have any idea how...... insane you people sound?

This is not about clean floors and dog sh*t. Thiis about control freaks bullying people.

If I'm ever at a party where they insist I remove my shoes, I will. I also can promise you I will urinate on the bathroom floor.

What would you do if someone asked you to use a coaster?

No. If this is the house OP grew up in then OP can do what she likes. It is her house as much as the Mothers. I do think you have to bring it up to her though. The whole concept is stupid.

TIL I'm a real estate millionaire!! I own every property I ever lived in, even if I didn't pay mortgage or rent!

Sure -- is it the house you were raised in and still owned by a parent? If so, yes.

Ugh. This is why everyone calls our generation “entitled”

Entitled is the creepy old boomer who tells his new wife “my way or the highway” and demands things change. Pathetic is the new wife that goes along with it.

To be fair, I find shoes in the house gross, but I think it’s more the principle than anything else.

When your parent marries, you have to make compromises and accept changes. Welcome to being an adult stepchild!

What? No, you do not have to accept changes. He can accept that people wear shoes in the house that they have been wearing shoes in for the last 4 decades!

I also have a bunch of cheap amazon grippy socks for guest if they choose. If once in a while a guest doesn't remove shoes I look the other way. Elderly aunt with knee problems...whatever. Cousin with chronic back pain, sure. SUPER shy kid, whatever. We try to keep the front walk swept to avoid tracking in excess mud. But generally, if you ignore this as an able bodied close family member staying a long time with advance notice then you ATAH.
