Mel 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’s gift to the world, as she would think.

In her mind, she was thinking that her children were the best in the world.

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.

They had many traumas from Laura’s parenting skills.

For their second anniversary, back in time, they decided to threw a small party.

Everything started greatly. The food, the guests, the music… Everything were great. Then Laura arrived. She was a dark cloud on their sunny sky.

She wanted to talk with Mel privately, and handed her an envelope. She wanted her to open the envelope, which she described as her “gift,” after the party was over.

Mel was surprised as she was not expecting Laura to buy them a gift.

When the party was over, and the guests were left, Mel opened the envelope, which shocked her.

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.

Diapers — $2,500

School supplies — $1,200

Sports equipment — $1,100

College tuition — $25,000

Emotional support — $10,000

“Nurturing a loving son for you’”— priceless (with a smiley face)

The couple were shocked, as they were aware that Laura wanted the money really. This was not a joke.

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.

When the big day arrived short after, Mel used the same method for her gift. After that, Laura never talked with them.

Here is the Mel’s list;

Listening to her criticize my cooking — $5,000

Smiling through backhanded compliments at family dinners — $8,000

Pretending not to notice when she “accidentally” forgets my birthday — $1,000

The therapy sessions after her constant interference in our marriage — $30,000

Teaching her son what a normal family looks like — $20,000

“Emotional support for dealing with her drama”— priceless
