Mother-daughter in law relationship in China are notoriously gritty and are often the source of family feuds and break-ups. Recently, online news site stnn.cc posted a story about a wife (Mrs. Geng) in Changchun who’s had just about enough of her overly-protective mother-in-law.

According to the story, the husband and wife were happily married for two years, until the M.I.L. moved in. But Mrs. Geng quickly discovered that the M.I.L. still treats her grown-up son like a little child and things reached a boiling point when the M.I.L. came into the bedroom late one night to give her son a goodnight kiss.

Prior to their wedding her husband had made it clear to her that the M.I.L. would eventually move and Mrs. Geng initially didn’t have any problems with this arrangement. At the beginning, they all lived happily under one roof, and after work Mrs. Geng would always help the M.I.L. cook dinner and chat.

However, she began to notice that the M.I.L. would only cook her son’s favorite dishes and always added more food to his bowl, like a mother looking after a little child. One night, as she woke up to get a sip of water, Mrs. Geng got utterly freaked out when she saw her mother-in-law standing over her husband giving him a kiss on the cheek. The mother-in-law was also shocked to be caught and claimed that she came in to make sure he had enough sheets because he was having sleep issues. The next day, Mrs. Geng told her husband about the incident, but to cut a long story short, the husband took his mother’s side and said that she was only acting in his best interest and that she did that out of habit. Needless to say, Mrs. Geng is now looking into getting a divorce.
