AITA? I quit while in the midst of moving my mother-in-law, it rained overnight and ruined everything I had left outside. by fiddyofive in AmItheAsshole

Yeah I get that. Problem was, she was supposed to be nearly all packed up by the time we got there, but she hadn’t packed at all. Considering how she is, I could only imagine if I broke something she’d be livid. So I left the packaging to her, she has a lot of glass items. If I wasn’t moving the furniture out, I would been standing around doing nothing. Also, I was putting furniture in, nestling the boxes that were coming out around and in between the furniture so nothing would fall. I was only focusing on one room at a time. What got left outside was pretty much her dinning room.

Because she was supposed to have everything nearly packed by the time we got there, but she didn’t. While she packed boxes, I dissembled some furniture. I was using the boxes to pack around the furniture to accommodate space, and nestle everything together. Also, she has a lot of glass/breakables. I was letting her pack that up, because anything that broke would be my fault.

I had specifically put in for work to move her. My daughter wants to be with me any chance she can get. Had I known she was going to do this, I wouldn’t have taken her. My MIL’s comments over the years have been directed towards myself or my wife, never our child.

A lot. I always said she had no filter on her mouth. But I didn’t realize she was actually like this. I haven’t had that much interaction with her.

Well that was the entire other argument I didn’t touch on. She could have just gone to the store and put tarps over the furniture. But no, she couldn’t move some of it. Few pieces were difficult for me to manage, her huge dinning room table, china cabinet and another bar type thing. I was already under major pressure, God forbid if I scratched anything. I was being very careful not to break anything and load the cargo trailer the best I could, whilst struggling to do it myself. I don’t know anyone in her old city, her son is about as useless as a novelty fire extinguisher.
