Mom Snapped When MIL Refused To Stop Caressing Girl’s Face

Parenting July, 04, 2025

A mother lost her control when one fine day at a function of the Bridal shower, she couldn’t help herself but notice her mother-in-law patting her daughter on the face. She was frustrated to such a level that she decided to put the whole thing on Reddit and seek reactions and suggestions of other people on the very matter. According to the mommy, the grandma obsessively kept on patting the little baby by doing stuff like fixing her hair and cuddling her etc.

As the bizarre patting continued, the mom reached her flash point and lost her control. She ran to her mother in law and straight away asked her to stop touching her child like that. Angrily, she wrote on the post that in these difficult times we ourselves were not allowed to touch our faces but the mother-in-law wouldn’t stop touching her daughter’s face. However, she didn’t realize if the mother in law was affronted or not but she surely was proud of setting borders. Realizing later that day, the mother was worried that she might have overreacted on the whole thing. Additionally, she wrote that obviously, she re-thought herself for the remainder of the day.

Attracting themselves to the post, many commentators stood up by her and agreed that the event was strange. One of the critics commented that the mother should treat the mother in law as a baby and touch her face awkwardly and see how she liked it. A second commented that she was absolutely right for asking her to stop. A woman stood by the mother sportingly as she faced the same issue with her mother in law and son. Her case was much gross as the grandma couldn’t stop touching the lips of the son and the mother almost puked awfully.

On the other side of the fence, some people thought that the mother went overboard and overreacted. One of the viewers remarked that the mother was the weird one. According to him, if COVID-19 wasn’t a thing, the mother was clearly overheating. Another one said that the mother was “Potentially overreacting”.

Later the mom shared that her mother in law mend her ways when she set the grounds. However, both of them haven’t been seeing each other comfortably since then. Later in the thread, she wrote that things have been uncanny and unusual since the day they both butted heads over COVID and politics. She also mentioned that the distance between them widened when the mother in law accused her of putting negative thoughts about her own children when she was worried about them getting COVID.

But ultimately, the only thing that’s important is that the mother kept her girl safe and without germ. The mother ended the note by explaining how much guts it took for her to ask her mother in law to stop as she is very “non-confrontational” by nature.
