In the grand scheme of things, and compared to what others have to deal with on here this is petty - but I'd still like your views!
I have a usually good relationship with my MIL and she adores her GC. This is not a MIL bashing thread - I would feel this way if any family member did this.
Here goes:
My mother gives me a photo of my baby that I'd previously said I adored. I leave it in our house. Whilst away my MIL comes in to drop some milk off (nice gesture) and takes the photo. On our return, she tells my DH she has taken the picture and that it's to show off to her friends.
On arriving home, I take my DC to see her. I look up and MY photo is now in a frame on her fireplace. I'm pretty pissed off/shocked, but just say 'oh there's my photo. I wondered where that had gone.'
She asks for a copy, I say yes that's no problem, and she takes it out of the frame ... whilst looking like I've asked her to give me her kidney.
Am I being unreasonable to think this was a rude thing to do!?!
I wouldn't dream of ever taking anything from her house, and then to top it off, displaying said taken thing where I know she will see it!
I also know if the roles were reversed with her DD and her DD's MIL - it would not go down well! Where as I'm more of a walk-over.
I'm feeling 50% petty for taking the picture back when I could ask my mother to print another but 50% well in my right to take back the photo my mother printed for me!
If it helps the jury - she now has her own version which my mother printed for her.
I know it sounds daft - but I'm wondering if I'm BU or if she was?
