basically my husband let his mom borrow his mustang (there’s a lot of snow here mind you so he was very reluctant to let her borrow it) bc her car is broke down and his sister is using their grandparents car bc her car is broke down. we went over there last night and swapped them vehicles and left them his truck so we could take the mustang out for a date. she got mad at him for “leaving them without a vehicle” (his mom and grandparents live together.) then today we went out for the day to go shopping and then go up to the mall in the city, and have dinner with my dad like 2 hours away after. she is now very upset for us using OUR VEHICLE and leaving her OUR OTHER VEHICLE bc “she couldn’t get groceries bc they didn’t have a car.” btw the car that she owns that’s “broke down” needs brakes. obviously if it’s that bad they shouldn’t drive it but idek if it is that bad bc no one told us about it so we didn’t know to check them for her. same thing with his sisters car actually, apparently it just needs an ignition switch and instead of ordering me the part and having me do it in the driveway it’s sitting at the shop for weeks on end after sitting at OUR HOUSE FOR MONTHS!! anyway not the point.
basically she’s complaining and making us feel bad like we left them stranded bc we wanted to have a nice date together in the nice car. she’s also mad at him for parking his car on the street last night bc someone side swiped it and she is now mad at me for my two vehicles being parked in the driveway. like lady you had the mustang for how long?? also i’m not moving cars around at 10:00 at night lol plus my mustang is literally snowed in like girlypop is stuck for the season.
anyway this just pmo bc why are you mad at us for using our own vehicle?? like sorry you had to eat peanut butter for dinner bc you didn’t want to take the truck to get groceries today but like we’re letting you borrow our car lady.. also we left you with almost a full tank of gas and you’re gonna complain about not being able to put gas in it today?? sorry this turned into a rant but like should we actually feel bad for swapping one of OUR vehicles for another one of OUR vehicles? like if she didn’t want either of those two she’s got 3 other options 💀 (we have two mustangs, a riviera, a truck, and a wrangler and she could have borrowed any of them except maybe my mustang bc it’s snowed in lol)
Your husband must’ve gotten tired of hearing you yap about this
Imagine before the internet.
People trying to get to the end of each day with their head still connected and maybe some food in their pocket, but they never had to deal with mustang or no mustang. You golden. Everyone golden in this tale.
Stay gold, Pony Boy. Stay Gold.
A venting sub is better for this
Why do I feel the nice car is a 1998 mustang gt.
“them dang ol’ truck ain’t got no floorboards in it”
lol it’s not it’s an 07 gt. super clean until someone dented it last night. it’s not horrible tho easy fix. we mainly wanted it for the day since we were driving so far for dinner and it’s got the best heat and it’s better on gas.
NTA just because it’s y’all’s car. Y’all also left a functional vehicle with them. Your MIL is being a choosy beggar.
You need to bring this to r/ChoosingBeggars
INFO: You said, “*she’s also mad at him for parking his car on the street last night bc someone side swiped it*”.
Are you saying your MIL is mad at her son because HIS car was damaged?
She can’t be seen driving a damaged car. She would be embarrassed.
Nta, and I’d be showing up and taking all my cars home. Selfishness is the quickest way to lose my help. Peace out you can walk. Fix your brakes lazy ass freeloader
NTA. This is entitlement 101. She’s upset because she doesn’t have the car she wants available when she wants it. Why should they fix their cars? You and hubby are providing free transportation and they don’t have to even pay insurance.
