Mother-In-Law Calls Wife “Nanny”, Husband Overhears Conversation And Gets Even

My Child

The erratic woman grabbed the child and started plastering sunblock all over his face. The poor mother couldn’t do anything to stop her.

She tried to take her child away from her, but she held his arm tight. It wasn’t the first time that she did things like this.

As the annoyed mother watched her son squirm in irritation, she wished that her mother-in-law hadn’t come to visit that day. Their relationship was becoming a problem.

Young Love

Their love story began in the hallowed halls of the university, where Chloe and Glenn met. From the moment their eyes locked, they knew they were meant to be together.

They were both in the same finance classes and were elected tutors, it was a match of beauty and brains.

Despite the stares and whispers from those who couldn’t understand their interracial love, they had forged ahead, hand in hand. But they didn’t know how hard their relationship was going to be.

Center Of Attention

Despite their unwavering love for each other, they couldn’t ignore the stares and whispers that followed them wherever they went. Life in Texas wasn’t all it was cut out to be.

As a biracial couple, they were accustomed to the curious glances and occasional disapproving looks of strangers.

Yet they refused to let it dampen their spirits, choosing instead to focus on the love they shared. They didn’t know that they had unintentionally offended many people.

All Eyes On You

The whispers began almost immediately, like a relentless tide crashing against the shore. Chloe and Glenn felt the weight of judgment pressing down upon them, suffocating them with its cruelty.

Going out was difficult for them, especially in public places like shopping malls. “They’ll never last,” they heard someone mutter as they walked hand in hand down the street. “I give it six months, tops,” another voice sneered.

They were aware of the taunts and Glenn usually handled it in his stride. But he had no idea how bad things were going to get.

Going Strong

As another year passed, 28-year-old Glenn proposed, and they excitedly planned for their Spring wedding. Their so-called friends weren’t happy about it.

But 27-year-old Chloe refused to let the whispers break her spirit. She held her head high, her gaze locked on the future she and Glenn had built together.

They were a family bound by love and determination, and nothing could tear them apart. Unfortunately, she didn’t know that somebody was going to hamper her plans.

They Made It

Their union had blossomed into a beautiful marriage, crowned with the arrival of their baby boy, whose features mirrored Glenn’s in every way.

Although a bi-racial child, he took after his father and had fair skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes. He was a gorgeous little baby.

Parenthood had only strengthened their bond, but it seemed their familial bliss was marred by the toxic presence of Glenn’s mother. She never showed her happiness to her son or his wife.

Part Of The Family

Not everyone was rude to them, and they did have a few good friends they could count on. “It takes a village,” as they say.

However, not everyone was as accepting of their relationship. Glenn’s mother, Petra, had never hidden her disdain for Chloe, making her feelings abundantly clear at every opportunity.

From subtle snubs to outright insults, Petra’s hostility towards Chloe only seemed to grow with each passing day. Chloe had no idea that her mother-in-law literally despised her.

A Family Evening

Their evening was filled with laughter and reminiscing, the love between them palpable in every touch and glance. They were having a fancy dinner at home.

But amidst the joyous celebration, there lingered an unspoken tension—a shadow cast by Glenn’s mother, Petra.

Petra had never fully embraced Chloe, her disapproval thinly veiled behind forced smiles and polite conversation. Chloe had tried her best to win her over, but Petra’s icy demeanor remained unchanged.

Chloe Heard Her

It wasn’t until later in the evening, when Chloe excused herself to put James to bed, that she overheard snippets of conversation drifting from the living room.

Her curiosity got the better of her, and she tiptoed closer, straining to catch the words being exchanged. It was her mother-in-law on the phone.

“…never approved of her, you know,” Petra’s voice carried a bitter edge. “She’s just not…right for Glenn.” Chloe couldn’t believe what she was saying about her.

Not Meant To Overhear

Chloe’s heart plummeted as she realized the subject of their conversation. Her mother-in-law was complaining about her.

She listened, a knot forming in her stomach as Petra continued to voice her disdain. Who was she talking to? Was it another family member?

“She’s not even Lucas’s real mother,” Petra scoffed. “Just some nanny he picked up along the way.” Chloe’s eyes grew in shock. She had to cover her mouth to block her loud gasping.

She Doesn’t Like Me

The words hit Chloe like a physical blow, the sting of betrayal coursing through her veins. Her forehead was wet with perspiration.

She stood there for a few minutes, listening to her mother-in-law insulting her looks and her culture. She never knew that she was such a racist.

She wanted to confront Petra, to demand an explanation for her hurtful words, but she knew it would only lead to more conflict. Why did she hate Chloe so much?

One On One

The hurt mother was just about to walk in on her rude mother-in-law, but she stopped herself. She wasn’t worth it.

Instead, she retreated to the bedroom, her mind spinning with a whirlwind of emotions. She sat on her bed and started crying.

How could Glenn’s own mother harbor such animosity towards her? And how long had she been hiding her true feelings behind a facade of civility?

Her Husband Senses

When Glenn joined her later that night, Chloe couldn’t bring herself to meet his gaze. She felt raw and exposed, as if Petra’s words had stripped away the layers of security she had built around herself.

“Is everything okay, Chloe?” Glenn’s voice was filled with concern as he reached out to touch her shoulder.

Chloe flinched away from his touch, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. “I overheard your mother talking,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. “She called me…she called me the nanny.”

You’re Lying

Glenn’s expression darkened with anger; his jaw clenched in frustration. “I can’t believe she would say something like that,” he muttered, his hands balling into fists at his sides. “I’m sorry, Chloe. I’ll talk to her, I promise.”

But Chloe knew that words alone wouldn’t be enough to mend the rift that had formed between them.

If Petra couldn’t accept her as part of the family, then perhaps it was time for Chloe to reevaluate her place in Glenn’s life. Was she really going to leave her husband?

A Plan

The following days were fraught with tension as Chloe and Glenn struggled to navigate the fallout from Petra’s hurtful words.

Chloe found herself withdrawing, her once vibrant spirit overshadowed by a cloud of uncertainty. She wasn’t enjoying motherhood.

It wasn’t until a week later, when Glenn approached her with a determined glint in his eye, that Chloe allowed herself to hope for reconciliation. He promised to address his mother about her backward thinking.

With Family Like This

Chloe tried her best to ignore Petra’s animosity, brushing off her comments with a forced smile and a gracious nod. She was always the better person.

But as Lucas grew older, she couldn’t help but worry about the impact Petra’s negativity might have on their son. She was old-fashioned in a bad way.

If his own family was insulting him and treating him badly, how would others treat him? She started stressing about her child’s future.

Glenn Gets Angry

One evening, as Chloe rocked Lucas to sleep in his nursery, she heard raised voices coming from the living room.

She tiptoed down the hallway and peered around the corner to see Glenn and Petra locked in a heated argument.

Her eyes grew in wonder at her husband standing up to his mother. She quietly hid in the shadows, listening to their every word. She didn’t realize what a problem she had caused between them.

Making A Big Deal

Petra was busy knitting a jumper for Lucas, she always stayed late at night. Despite them telling her to go home.

“I don’t understand why you insist on defending her,” Petra spat, her eyes flashing with anger. “She’s not good enough for you, Glenn. You could have done so much better.”

Glenn’s jaw clenched as he fought to control his temper. “Chloe is my wife, Mom. I love her, and I won’t stand by while you disrespect her.” He made a choice.

Sly Remarks

Chloe’s heart ached at the sight of her husband defending her honor, but she knew their problems ran deeper than mere words. Petra’s dislike of her seemed rooted in something far more profound, something Chloe couldn’t quite grasp.

Days went on, and tensions continued to simmer beneath the surface, threatening to boil over at any moment.

Chloe tried to maintain a sense of normalcy for Lucas’s sake, but the strain was beginning to take its toll on their once-happy home. Petra didn’t stop insulting Chloe and her mothering skills.

Our Little Secret

One day Glenn surprised her. “I planted a camera in the living room,” Glenn confessed, his voice tinged with regret. “I needed to see for myself what my mother was saying about you.”

Chloe’s heart skipped a beat at his words, a mixture of apprehension and relief flooding her senses.

She knew that uncovering Petra’s true feelings wouldn’t be easy, but she was grateful for Glenn’s unwavering support. What would the video footage reveal?

The Right Time

A few weeks had passed since they had installed the hidden camera. Chloe sat on the edge of their bed, her fingers trembling as she clutched the small camera they had hidden in the living room.

The tension in the air was tight as she glanced at her husband, who paced nervously across the floor. They were going to watch it.

It was a difficult conversation to have. But they had decided to confront the source of their marital strain: Glenn’s mother, Petra. This time they had proof.

Hold On

Just then Chloe suggested that they forget the whole thing, “I don’t want to cause any more problems Glenn,” she begged him.

Petra’s disapproval of Chloe had always simmered beneath the surface, but it had reached a boiling point when she began openly referring to Chloe as “the nanny” in front of others.

It wasn’t just a matter of semantics; it was a dismissal of Chloe’s role as Glenn’s wife and their son’s mother. Glenn wasn’t going to let it slide for one more day.

No Other Way

Glenn insisted that they had to call his mother out. Chloe had finally reached her breaking point and confided in Glenn about Petra’s hurtful behavior.

It was then that they devised a plan to uncover the truth. They were waiting for the right time to talk to her, but she was always in and out of the house.

With a hidden camera strategically placed in the living room, they hoped to capture Petra’s true feelings about Chloe. Soon, it would be time to show her the video.

A Happy Occasion

A few days later, it was their son’s first birthday, a joyous occasion marked by laughter and celebration. The couple decided to throw a small party at home.

The air was filled with the sweet scent of cake and the sound of children’s laughter as guests gathered to honor the precious milestone.

Petra was invited and she attended with a look of disgrace. She mostly kept to herself and only mingled with family people. Glenn noticed her snooty behavior immediately.

She Can’t Take It

Seeking refuge indoors, Petra’s mask slipped, revealing her true colors to those unsuspecting ears within earshot.

Unbeknownst to Petra, a tiny camera discreetly captured every moment, poised to unveil the truth hidden behind her façade of civility. She was openly gossiping about Chloe.

As the party kicked into full swing, Petra’s discomfort became palpable, her disdain for Chloe bubbling just beneath the surface. She had no idea that her son heard every word she said.

For Your Own Eyes

The couple accessed the video from their cell phone. Together, they watched the footage in stunned silence, the weight of Petra’s betrayal hanging heavy in the air.

Chloe felt a surge of vindication as Glenn’s expression hardened with determination. She squeezed her husband’s hand tight in support.

“We can’t let her get away with this,” he declared, his voice ringing with conviction. “She needs to know that her words have consequences.” He didn’t know how much worse things were going to get.

From The Horse’s Mouth

As they waited in tense silence, the soft glow of the camera’s recording light illuminated the room.

“She’s just the nanny,” she scoffed, her words dripping with contempt as she attempted to diminish Chloe’s role in their family.

Every passing minute felt like an eternity, each creak of the floorboards echoing loudly in their ears. Finally, the sound of Petra’s footsteps approached, signaling her return home.

Wait For Her

Glenn’s heart pounded in his chest as he watched his mother enter the other room. She was slightly tipsy.

His hands clenched into fists, his jaw set in determination. He wanted to shout at her, but there were too many other people around.

Chloe’s grip on the camera tightened as she prepared herself for what was to come. Her husband had a bad temper, and nobody disrespected him or his family, not even his own mother.

Petra Is Tipsy

The drunk mother-in-law saw her daughter-in-law standing in the room and passed a slurry comment, “Can’t hold conversations with your guests dear?” she said snootily.

But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Glenn, alerted by the snide remark, rushed to Chloe’s side, his eyes ablaze with righteous fury.

“Mom,” he began, his voice a steely edge of determination, “enough is enough. I won’t stand by while you belittle my wife.” He pulled her aside ready to defend his wife’s honor.

Not The Time

Glenn gripped his drunk mother’s arm; he was embarrassed and took her way from earshot. His mother yanked her arm away angrily.

“Glenn, darling, is everything alright?” Petra’s voice cut through the silence, dripping with false sweetness. She rolled her eyes at Chloe.

Glenn exchanged a knowing glance with Chloe before taking a deep breath. “We need to talk, Mom.” He shut the door and faced his manic mother. The surprised woman had no idea what was coming her way.

I Know What You Did

Petra’s facade faltered for a brief moment before she regained her composure. “Of course, dear. What’s on your mind?”

Glenn stepped forward, his voice firm. “We know what you’ve been saying about Chloe.” Petra’s eyes widened in feigned innocence. “I’m not sure what you’re talking about, Glenn.”

Chloe’s heart sank as she watched Petra’s denial unfold. But just as she was about to lose hope, Glenn reached for the remote and pressed play on the hidden camera footage.

Insulting Family

The room filled with the sound of Petra’s own voice, unmistakably referring to Chloe as “the nanny” in a phone call with her friend.

Petra’s face drained of color as the truth stared back at her from the screen. She stood there stunned, unable to speak or move as the video played on.

“I never understood why Glenn had to marry someone like her,” Petra muttered, her words laced with venom. “She’s nothing more than the nanny if you ask me.”

You Can’t Deny It

The video continued to play; Petra’s voice was clear as day. The words hung heavy in the air, a painful reminder of Petra’s true feelings towards Chloe.

But before Petra could revel in her vitriol, Glenn spoke up, his expression a mixture of anger and disappointment.

“Isn’t that you?” he asked his mother, “Who are you talking about mum?” he was angry and made sure she felt it. He had no idea what his mother was going to do next.

What You Said

Petra’s eyes widened in shock, her facade crumbling under Glenn’s unwavering gaze. For a moment, silence hung heavy in the air, tension crackling like electricity between them.

Petra’s eyes widened in surprise, caught off guard by her son’s sudden confrontation. She followed Glenn outside, where Chloe stood, her eyes brimming with tears yet filled with resolve.

Glenn took a deep breath, his voice steady as he addressed his mother. “I’ve heard the way you talk about Chloe, Mom. It stops now.” Would she listen to him?

Muttering Mother-In-Law

Glenn’s voice was filled with disappointment as he confronted his mother. “How could you, Mom? After everything Chloe has done for us, for our family?”

Petra was speechless, her usual sharp tongue rendered mute in the face of her betrayal. She looked around to escape, but there was nowhere to run.

Chloe felt a mix of anger and sadness wash over her as she watched Petra’s facade crumble before her eyes. She was holding their son, Lucas, he looked on at his family fighting.

Denying It All

Petra was stoic. She was adamant that she was just fooling around with them. But the couple told her to save her lies.

At that moment, Glenn and Chloe realized that blood didn’t define family; love did. Petra didn’t really love them at all.

And as they stood united against Petra’s prejudice, they knew that their love was stronger than any obstacle thrown their way. But would Petra learn her lesson or make things worse?

Giving In

Finally, Petra’s pride gave way to remorse as she met her son’s gaze, her voice barely a whisper as she pleaded for forgiveness.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered, tears glistening in her eyes. “I never meant to hurt you or Chloe. Please, forgive me.”

Choe scoffed at her mother-in-law’s fake apology. She was just acting nice because she wanted Glenn to be on her side. Was the naive Glenn going to fall for it?

Let’s Be Friends

Glenn’s heart softened at the sight of his mother’s vulnerability, his resolve melting away as he enveloped her in a tender embrace.

“I forgive you, Mom,” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion. “But things have to change. Chloe is my wife, and she deserves our respect.”

Petra’s facade crumbled, guilt washing over her as she realized the extent of the hurt she had caused. “I-I didn’t mean…” she faltered, unable to find the right words to justify her actions.

For The Last Time

Chloe stepped forward; her voice unwavering as she spoke. “We deserve respect, Petra. Not just as your son and daughter-in-law, but as a family. If you can’t accept that, then maybe it’s best you leave.”

Petra stood up in front of Chloe, she looked like she was about to push her down. But she held her free hand and kissed it.

Chloe was confused at the strange act of affection and didn’t know what to say. Was this her way of saying she accepted her as an African American daughter-in-law?

A Sour Sorry

The silence that followed was deafening, the weight of their words hanging heavy in the air. It was awkward while the party continued downstairs.

Petra’s gaze shifted between her son and daughter-in-law, a war raging within her as she grappled with her own prejudices.

Finally, Petra nodded, her voice barely a whisper. “I’m sorry, Chloe. I’ll try to do better.” She put her hands around her daughter-in-law in a tight embrace.

A Brisk Departure

With that, Petra turned and left, the weight of her words lingering long after she was gone. The couple stared at each other in shock.

The party carried on with a strange ambiance of confusion. But amidst the turmoil, there was a glimmer of hope, a promise of healing and reconciliation for a family torn apart by prejudice.

And as Chloe and Glenn embraced, their love shone bright, a beacon of hope in a world still learning to accept difference. But was that going to be enough?

Party Time

The courageous Chloe tried to mingle with Glenns’ side of the family more. She was proud of her husband and son and wanted everyone to see it.

When it was time to cut the cake, Petra tried to take center stage again. But with Glenn by her side, Chloe found the strength to confront Petra once and for all.

It wasn’t easy, and there were tears shed and harsh words exchanged, but in the end, Petra was forced to confront the truth of her own prejudices.

Ignoring Her

They continued having fun with their friends who cared. The fake family eventually filtered out after stopping by to say hi.

Slowly but surely, the wounds began to heal, the rift between them bridged by a newfound understanding and acceptance.

Chloe knew that it would take time to rebuild the trust that had been shattered, but she was willing to fight for the love that had brought them together in the first place. But would Petra play her part?

They Are The Future

As she saw the joy on her son’s face, she knew that she had done the right thing. This was their new family, with new traditions.

And as she looked into Glenn’s eyes, she knew that together, they could overcome any obstacle that stood in their way.

For theirs was a love that transcended race and prejudice—a love that was as beautiful and enduring as the bond between mother and child.

That’s My Wife

As the sun set on their son’s first birthday, a sense of peace settled over them, a promise of brighter days ahead. Petra went home sorry, but stronger.

Amidst tears and apologies, healing began to take root within their fractured family. With each passing day, they worked to rebuild what was broken, their love stronger than ever before.

For Chloe and Glenn, their love would always be their guiding light, illuminating even the darkest of nights. Love conquered all.
