My Mother In Law Treated My Moms Country House Like A Resort Until I Set Boundaries

---

Daniel and I got married in the spring. In May. In a little church in my hometown, and then a reception at a barn with string lights and a taco truck.

This was the first summer our families spent together.

The first time Daniel’s parents, Susan and Richard, came up to the lake, my mother was nervous for a whole week before. I’ve never seen her so nervous. Not even at my wedding.

She called me every single night that week.

“What do they like to eat, honey?”
