To want to chop her feet off

Ok, maybe that's a bit harsh but I have had to endure DM deliberately winding me up all day.....

A few weeks ago we got a new carpet in the front room as the old one got ruined by dd2, we couldn't afford much so its not the best carpet or really a colour I'd have chosen but we were limited by finances. For us it was a lot of money.
Because the last one got ruined we decided we would be really careful with this carpet so no outside shoes in there, dcs not to sit around eating/spilling drinks etc as we want it to stay looking nice for as long as is possible with small dcs!

DM came round today unexpectedly, came in to the hall and said "ooh new carpet-my carpet is horrible you know. I need new, where is yours from" etc etc
I asked her would she mind taking her shoes off asit was muddy outside and she just walked in! I asked again and she touted and took them off slowly after walking round. I was fuming.
When she was about to leave she took her shoes into the front room, put them on, walked around. I said to her "please can you not do that I asked you earlier, we really want to keep the carpet nice and your shoes are muddy" she completely ignored me. I had to leave the room and she came after me in front of dh and said "don't be like this with me, my carpet is ruined because of you and dsis and db when you were children, its not fair that I can't get new"!!!

I was so angry with her.

Wow! is she always that childishly selfish?
YWNBU to chop her feet off :) Nor would you BU if you denied her access until she fucking grew up and respected you.

YANBU do you want to borrow my saw!

It's a pet pee of mine shoe in the house along with those that think if they tip toe or walk really fast they some how posses Jesus qualities of walking on carpet water

Get her some of these for Mothers Day. You could even roll them up so tha they look like an exotic bouquet of flowers.

YANBU - what she did was petty and selfish.

Yeah sorry babes but totes agree with the others. She's a witch.

I'd put salt round the doorways....

Your house, your carpet, your rules. If she doesn't like it she knows where the door is!
