She Got A Bill From Her MIL For ‘Raising Such A Wonderful Husband’ So Revenge Was Coming

When I unfolded it and read the first line, I couldn’t help but stare at the paper with my eyes wide open. My mother-in-law had sent me a bill for all the “expenses” she claimed to have incurred while raising my husband. I’m not even kidding.

Here’s a snippet of the list she sent:

Diapers — $2,500

School supplies — $1,200

Sports equipment — $1,100

College tuition — $25,000

Emotional support (yes, this was actually listed) — $10,000

“Nurturing a loving son for you’”— priceless (with a smiley face)

The list went on and on, and the more I read, the more my eyes twitched. She even added a little note at the end.

Since you’re enjoying the benefits, you can help me recover the costs.

“What the heck?” I said to myself. “How could she even think of doing this? She’s asking me to pay her for raising such a wonderful husband?”

That’s when Edward stepped out of the bathroom.

“What happened, babe?” he asked after looking at my face. “Is everything alright?”

“Your mother needs help, Edward,” I handed the bill to him. “Serious help.”

I watched Edward read the bill carefully, expecting him to react like I did, but he just brushed it off as a joke.

“I’m sure Mom’s just playing around,” he chuckled. “She can’t be serious.”

“She sent me a bill totaling $50,000, and you think this is a joke?” I said, my tone serious.

Edward shrugged his shoulders.

“Laura and I aren’t high school buddies,” I said, rolling my eyes. “I know she’s serious. You know how she loves making people feel terrible. This is just another one of her stunts, I’m sure.”
