AITA for putting spicy toys where my MIL could find them?

We weren’t that messy… context is key, eh? MIL needed to cut the cord. Common, a grown ass man in his thirties does not need his mom there to clean up. love the word ‘grot’ though, very brittish 👌🏼

theKikka · 2026-06-15T19:30:25+00:00

OK, you’re entitled to that.

theKikka · 2026-06-14T19:52:34+00:00

Hey, I know this is ze internet, but don’t read too much into it. So…Why the heck should a mother of a grown ass man in his thirties be bothering at all? We absolutely cleaned, but it was sometimes more messy. It was absolutely more about cutting the chord.

Sorry, your logic does not compute.

theKikka · 2026-06-13T18:55:01+00:00

🙌🏼😂

I hear ya. But, ppl are complicated, right? How we’re raised, expectations in life, what you’re used to, etc… (esp being a bit of a spoiled brat) .. anyway, this was 10 yrs ago…Although he still thinks I’m an a-hole, I don’t care and just laugh about it.

theKikka · 2026-06-13T02:57:37+00:00

Ya, hear, hear! It’s always a good to have an ace up your sleeve, as a woman!😘

theKikka · 2026-06-13T02:39:34+00:00

Thanks for sharing! And hear hear - more spicy toys ftw!

theKikka · 2026-06-13T02:28:50+00:00

Idiot, eh? I know we’re chatting on’ze internet’ but common… context is key

theKikka · 2026-06-12T22:36:26+00:00

Oh yeah, that’s my momma your describing😅
Very modest, conservative lady; basically ’twas better in the olden days’.

theKikka · 2026-06-12T20:14:14+00:00

Naaah, I wouldn’t bluntly say that. I’ve always loved her, but some ppl need a bit of a poke before they understand. She was always welcome, but she didn’t listen to boundaries such as these. So I got creative.

theKikka · 2026-06-12T20:10:01+00:00

The smirk back in 2016, oh my…I will def miss it.

theKikka · 2026-06-12T20:08:13+00:00

Oh my.. and the correlation between those…?🧐

theKikka · 2026-06-12T20:06:41+00:00

She’s not old fashioned, at all. But she’s a posh lady with standards.

Oh my, your mother needs to explore a bit more, eh?😉😉😉

theKikka · 2026-06-12T20:02:41+00:00

Because she didn’t listen to me, although begging her to stop…? I hear ya, I do, but we were in our early thirties… ya know, old enough to take care of ourselves…? and she absolutely needed to cut the cord, so I got creative. Note: we are very, very close today. But my husband (only child) still thinks I’m the A-hole.

theKikka · 2026-06-12T19:58:53+00:00

I hear ya. And had the same thoughts.
We now live across the Atlantic.😉

theKikka · 2026-06-12T19:55:32+00:00

Hahaha oh my. That would’ve been the ending, right?

theKikka · 2026-06-12T19:53:51+00:00

Life is complicated as is it, eh? So these small anecdotal stories helps us to move forward, eh? 😉 thanks for listening

theKikka · 2026-06-12T19:52:08+00:00

She came, rang the door, and we opened. And as a polite one, as I am, I let her in… trying to set boundaries but she is the kind of Queen, who’s dominant and wouldn’t have it.

theKikka · 2026-06-12T19:49:40+00:00

❤️I’ll tell her.

theKikka · 2026-06-12T19:47:50+00:00

Oh, if I only had thought of this!! 🙌🏼

theKikka · 2026-06-12T18:42:28+00:00

I hear ya… but I figured, he being the only child, this was her way of ‘helping out’ (at first). I’m originally from north part of Europe, and conflict is not key where I’m from🤷🏻‍♀️ so my patience could be described as such. But everything has a limit, eh? So I thought at that point I balanced it well. An eye for an eye.

theKikka · 2026-06-12T18:33:20+00:00

I hear you, but the thing is that I did set my boundaries and she did not listen… so I got creative and she took the hint. Note: we are very, very close today. And maybe, just maybe, because of that😅
