The house I live in used to belong to my MIL aunt. When she passed away my MIL inherited the house and said we could move there. Everything in the basement was left over stuff from her aunt. She wanted to go through it last year but did not have the time. So she wanted to do it this spring. Thats why she was down there. We dont use the basement, its creepy and cold and uses a trap door to access it. My MIL wanted to sort through things on her own so she could decide what she wanted tossed out and what she decided to keep.
Yes she said she was sorry to me for the trouble but she and my husband are so alike. they wont budge, at least for now, on who was right and who was wrong. That is now up to them. I mended things between my MIL and myself and she is happy and I am happy. Sadly though because both are stubborn, they will need to come to some sort of agreement. Im very supportive of my husband but also I understand her and her feelings so I am not going to get into the middle. I told my husband I was sorry for the trouble but he assured me that this is something that happens every so often with he and his mom and its nothing to worry about. Both have mentioned that it will blow over. Apparently they get into a tiff every few years. Ive been married to my husband for almost 4 years and this is the first time Ive seen them argue.
