Not sure what to do here?!

Hi everyone

MIL just washed my underwear (panties to be specific!!) and I'm not sure what to think/feel. I'd put them in the laundry basket to do later, she came over to the house while I was absent (to do something else which we had talked about ages ago) then took my laundry to hers and did it. I feel so embarrassed and angry, it's my worn panties I'm talking about here!
Not sure if I should have a word or be grateful for help though I didn't ask for it?
Sorry if post is typed funny, I'm still in shock

You have every right to feel shocked and angry. This is not helpful from your MIL at all and you did not ask her to do this task.

Where is your man in all this, what does he think about his mother coming into your home and disregarding boundaries in such a manner. Is he as afraid of her as you possibly are?.

I am certain that if you turned up at her house whilst she was absent to collect and wash her laundry there would be hell to pay.

Why has his mother taken it upon herself to do your laundry; she probably does not think you are capable somehow. The words power and control also spring to mind. I would get the key back from her now as a matter of course.

Shitalopram I wonder how you know this/so bothered about the term "panties". You must know a lot of dirty men lol. I didn't know about this myself until I read this thread, thanks for teaching me something I didn't need to know
