Son Almost Got Our Housekeeper Sacked When He Accused Her Of Stealing - AITA Reddit Stories

She wasn't choosing to pick the housekeeper over her son, she believed him and asked him to explain how she did it. THERE WERE WITNESSES AND HE ADMITTED THAT HE DID IT! Dad is only mad because his son got embarrassed and it might look bad at him. That poor housekeeper.

[@Davtwan]

I agree with the comment that had a wonderful suggestion. If the housekeeper quits, then make hubby and especially son clean the house. Maybe they’ll respect people more when they have to spend a weekend deep-cleaning the kitchen and bathroom. As for OP, I hope she does some self-reflection. She was so close to falling off the edge before she caught herself and started questioning the son. She needs to change her line of thinking more before it’s too little and too late. I hope that moment was an epiphany for her.

My hypothesis is that maybe the husband wants to get rid of the housemaid cause he made a move on her, got rejected, and is now afraid of getting found out by op.

[@TsukiKageTora]

So the father is like “you need to believe our son over her” So she should believe her prankster lying son and cost a lady her job despite witnesses that are his literal friends saying he was lying? Cost the lady her job for her son and make the son believe that he can get away with lying? _What a great father_

Besides, the husband and son could use the biggest lesson on respecting people. And I can think of no better way than that one response that suggested that they clean the house instead.

[@AndyyWithAY]

I was already completely on OP's side in story 2, but when the AH mom disrespected her affirmations, I took that personally. My personal affirmations are " I am a gifted speaker, what I have to say matters, I am not anxious in social situations." I would get rid of this mama's boy. They've been together 4 years. I would absolutely not be okay with some rando going through my stuff

[@Davtwan]

For real. His solution to awkward situations appears to be to just let it happen and look the other way. It’s funny that she says her son should move out when the one reconsidering the arrangement should be OP. (In all seriousness, she should have a serious talk to her fiancé before making any huge decisions.) Besides, I have my doubts there’s a way to leave a good first impression on a mom like that anyway despite what fiancé thinks.

[@ilbercgross4736]

There is no way OP should allow that woman to snoop through her home. Tell the bf if it happens again than "mom" will no longer be allowed in. It is OP's house and she let her bf move in, not his mother. But, OP could plant fake drugs in the house and see what happens when the police are called. It does sound to me like the bf is a momma's boy and no woman is good enough for mommy's little boy. Dump him and his mother.

[@paulastephenson1862]

The 16 yo "prankster" needs therapy. There is line which has been crossed long ago regarding what is a harmless prank and what is genuinely bullying and could be damaging. What would have happened if you'd called law enforcement, the housekeeper arrested for theft, etc. How far would your son have let it go? This is genuinely concerning. Your housekeeper is a saint for sticking around. Give her a raise and apologize profusely.

[@wmdkitty]

He can have his therapy in juvie, then, because what he did is downright criminal.

[@marshmello3455]

OP's partner in story two is a spineless weenie. His mom needs to back all of the way off because that's super invasive and controlling. He needs to set more healthy boundaries.

[@AndyyWithAY]

I thought I'd be on OP's side in story 3, but he's completely wrong. There's no reckless behavior. This is not about respect, this about control. You need to be a damn parent and tell your kids that BIL is an adult and he doesn't have to abide by the rules you have for your children. 10pm is not even late. I was thinking he was making a ton of noise when he came in at 3a.m., but 10pm!!! OP is a control freak and insane

[@pansprayers]

@@melodyharpole8272 it's only reasonable if it's a rule imposed on your actual children, not a grief stricken 20 year old, who's already going through enough bullshit, and is being forced to eat at the table like a four year old because his brother-in-law is power tripping.

[@Icalasari]

@@pansprayers Was going to say it is reasonable so long as the BIL is also allowed to go, "Ah, then I'll eat in my room/elsewhere"

[@ilbercgross4736]

Is OP going to make his 18yo children (when they finally reach that age) be home at 8pm? "I don't care if you are in the football team, you need to be home at 8pm." "I dont care if it is finals week, we need family time so get off your computer." OP needs to chill. Get a massage, take yoga, smoke a bowl, whatever he needs to chill the f^ck out.

[@purpleiguana208]

Story 2: It's crazy, but some in-laws ABSOLUTEY act like this. One time when my MIL was visiting, I noticed her going through the mail that had been left out on the table. When she noticed me staring at her, she laughed and said, "Oh, I'm just nosy." In my head, I was screaming, "Bitch, admitting it isn't the same as having permission!"

[@MsUnamusedNerd]

STORY 1: *NTA* The sun has a history of basically bullying the housekeeper, he decided to take it far by stealing his mothers jewelry and planting it in the house keepers post to get her fired for a “joke“. When husband got the news he blew up at his wife going “how dare you believe the help over my precious spawn? Are you mad woman?“ If the friend didn’t step up and tell the truth, that housekeeper would’ve wrongfully lost her job. STORY 2: *NTA* Karen Should have mind her own business. Notes of affirmation to give you a bit of a confidence boost is a good idea, but I guess she doesn’t like OP I took those as op being an egotist. his mom is not being protective she’s being overbearing, like God for bid if she found OP’s vibrator well she was “tidying up“ If she really is doing all of this to make sure her son is OK, does she have a little faith her son knows what he’s doing without her? STORY 3: *YTA* It is completely unrealistic to have a guest in your home who is a grown adult to follow the same exact rules as her children. If the kids really have a problem with it, be a parent and explain? The reason why he’s allowed to break those rules is because he’s an adult”

[@pansprayers]

Oh, she's the AH, none-the-less. She KNEW he's prone to this, and has allowed this behaviour to escalate to this point. ESH BUT the housekeeper.

[@jackspring7709]

The son is disgusting - listening to the husband's reaction its easy to see why he turned out like this.

[@MsUnamusedNerd]

@@pansprayers oh yeah, I was going to add that 0P might be the type of Karen mother that would talk shit about the housekeeper on social media that’s ruining her reputation if she did believe her son over the friend telling the truth.

[@slytherinlibrarian3501]

Story 1: How does the husband/dad justify his "the housekeeper paid the friend off" when the kid admitted to doing it "as a prank" after being ratted out? Some real big brain logic there, man. Story 2: While OP isn't obligated to tell anyone about her private mental health journey, does nosy MIL know that the 'egotistical' notes to herself are literally what the doctor ordered? Her spineless boyfriend clearly does and he's doing nothing to mitigate his mum's potential poor opinion, knowing that OP's mental health professional has told her to leave herself affirmations before.

[@WyntheRogue]

Not to mention if things don't work out between him and OP he's going to get a nasty wake up call when she does this to any girl he'd try to date as she seems the "Nobody is good enough for my baby boy but me/mama knows best." type. He needs to stop enabling her and cut the apron strings.

[@carolroberts4614]

Certainly mum shouldn't need to know the why's and wherefores of the notes in relation to the snooping! Never Excuse, Never Explain!

[@alezot6141]

Story #1: it's pretty clear where the son gets the example of being disrespectful and a lier

[@rosaazure]

Last story - hopefully someone starts a fund so that OP's children can move out immediately when they turn 18. An 8 p.m. curfew for an adult is ridiculous. The red flags OP gives off is terrifying.

[@pansprayers]

People need to start a fund for the brother to get out first, then OP's kids and wife if he doesn't knock it off.

[@gerble36]

The guy is phishing for validation. He doesn't want the BIL there, but he can't say "no" because it would make him look like a heartless arse*. So enforcing asinine rules under the guise " think of the children" is the thing he settled on to show his distaste of his BIL staying. He was presented with logic that he knows he can't fight because it is true, and is now desperately trying to find any sort of logic to continue this path of passive aggression. The guy is being an arse* here in more then a few ways. Doesn't necessarily mean he is a bad father with asinine rules and expectations. It just means he is immature and needs to grow up a tad. Being his children are at most about 10-11 years old, none of his rules are over the top when applied to his children.

[@momop1848]

Story 1: Shame on the mother for suspecting the housekeeper when there's a history of the son doing this crap. I hope their housekeeper is looking for a new job/client so she can resign. I also hope she spreads the word about the family so they have a hard time finding a new housekeeper. In the meantime, she should keep her purse and any possessions she can't keep on herself locked in her car if she drives. I just started training as a housekeeper in a hotel chain and I really like the job despite it being hard work. Taking something from a guest is not worth the loss of my job and my freedom. I agree with others suggesting that the son should clean the house. Pay the housekeeper her usual rate and let her supervise the son while he cleans EVERYTHING. Make him clean baseboards, remove every hair from the bathrooms, and make every reflective surface sparkle.

[@judyjohnson9610]

'Taking something from a guest is not worth the loss of my job and my freedom.' Well said! I ran a cleaning business for years and would never think about taking valuables. I could not only lose a client but my whole business as well. Reputation and honesty is everything when you are going into other people's homes. I used to work in a hotel as well and once was accused of stealing a pager. Fortunately, my supervisor had a cool head and had the guest call his pager. Turned out to have fallen under the bed.

[@pansprayers]

Naw, give the housekeeper a month paid off out of brat's pocket money, and make brat do her job while she's gone. The last thing she needs is to be subjected to this nightmare fuel of a child, while he pitches a fit because he has to clean. Mom and dad created this monster, it's their job to supervise his punishment, not her.

1: NTA. Jeremy's "prank" could have had serious legal consequences for the housekeeper, he deserves to be punished, and harshly, for this. Framing someone for theft is a crime. His father needs to stop enabling this behavior, too, because WTF? (Oh, well, maybe when one of Jeremy's victims sues, he'll get the message...) 2: NTA. OP had fun writing the silly affirmations, and MIL is being ridiculous. If MIL is "weirded out" by the notes, well, _stop forking snooping, Sherlock!_ (Also, who the hell just randomly "tidies" another person's home? That's invasive in itself.) 3: YTA. Those "rules" might be suitable for children and young teens, but for a grown-ass adult? Nope. Also, I don't like that OP has strictly set times when food is allowed and that the kids can't just eat when they are hungry. That's not okay for anyone.

*story 2:* NTA and I'd genuinely threaten to leave my fiance over this. I know it's such a massive cliche on reddit to suggest breaking up/divorcing over any relationship problem. But the fiance's mother is SNOOPING THROUGH OP'S BELONGINGS AND THEIR FIANCE IS DEFENDING IT! I am super territorial over my belongings after over a decade of gaslighting where my belongings were not only snooped through, but moved around the house so they could tell me that I must have "forgot I moved it". I've had people read my self-affirming notes and mock them. I've had people read my diary and criticize me for the contents. It makes it extremely difficult to create a visual outlet for your private feelings and emotions when you know someone is going to look through your stuff, find it, and criticize it. Having someone constantly going through your belongings and reading your private notes just results in withdrawl and becoming overly territorial.

[@badkitty4922]

I had to go through the same curfew and other B.S. when my dad died and I was staying with a sister and BIL. I was technically an adult as well, and had the same 10 p.m. curfew or, I'd be locked out of the house. No, I wasn't allowed a key. Omg OP is SUCH AN AH.

Story 2 - I'm probably going too far, but I can't help feeling that OP should hide mousetraps in the places Al's mother is most likely to snoop. Then when the witch is screaming that her finger is broken, look at her blankly and say, "But what were you doing going through that stuff?" Just be careful not to forget when the mousetraps are and get caught in your own trap! Story 3 - I know it's very hard to be completely on your own and 20, but it seems like Sean needs to get out from under his BIL's roof and thumb. Jesus, OP is treating him like a ten-year-old! And, as several people have pointed out, Sean is also grieving!

While it is normal for a mom to be protective of her children, its not normal at all for a parent to snoop around in other peoples belongings, with such shameless entitlement and bad intentions. Shes looking for reasons why her son shouldn't move in. She didn't just find the notes, she took them to show her son. I wouldn't let her clean the house anymore, because it's extremely obvious that shes not doing it to be kind and helpful. SO isn't even entirely moved in yet and this is how MIL is already behaving? That's a huuuuuge red flag, and so is her son's defense of her actions.

Also, if OP thinks staying out until 10pm is late, he's so out of touch with reality. When I was a teen I used to work until 11pm, and go out for tacos with cowokers after.

[@erikahammer4337]

Story 1: NTA Your son is one of those people that thinks it's ok to make a fake call to 911 to SWAT an unsuspecting and innocent person. These aren't pranks, they are legitimately something that messes up the lives of everyone involved.

[@k8mcawesome]

Yay these videos make my day! Mark im so glad you are feeling better and back to entertain us!

[@ambiguouslyexisting6311]

I don’t kill spiders if I can help it but it doesn’t keep me from losing my mind if one is on me 😂 I felt that deep in my soul. Thank you for putting it back home instead of smooshing it!

[@CreepyBlueAnimals84]

"You can't go out it's past 8pm!! It's lockdown time in this house!!" I loved that!!😂😂

[@kirmeirnin2561]

The blooper had me cracking up. Very much how I would have reacted. 😂😂😂

[@GabrielleHayes1921]

That blooper was the best!!! 😂😂😂 I had to listen to it again, I really enjoyed that lol

[@Tammohawk1]

1. What is that nonsense the husband is blathering about? I'd be more angry at him than son I think. If my son had a history of that, hell would rain down in my house. After the first incident w/the kid, if I were the housekeeper I'd be looking for new clients. 2. If I catch you snooping in my home, I'm calling you out on it and tell you to knock it off or you won't be welcome back. 3. YTA Brother is an adult and you are being ridiculous.

Your boyfriends mother has zero absolutely zero right to go through your stuff. Don’t marry this man , he can’t stand up to mommy, not marrying material. Dump this dude he is NOT it.

[@itrasheditgood]

The note prank really wasn’t a prank. Op is just trying to set up a boundary that her future MIL is tramping all over. I love the notes and tbh I would escalate with the butt plugs and other sexual paraphernalia. Don’t forget the whips, fuzzy hand cuffs and pretty underwear, get different sizes just screw with her head. If OP’s fiancé can’t support Op then it may be time to rethink the relationship, mama boys have a really hard time cutting the umbilical cord and it will cause problems in the future because Op can’t compete with mama, she won’t win.

[@browhattheactualfu-2659]

Being around the op in the last story, no matter who you are, sounds physically and mentally draining. I can just tell in a few years he'll be in a nursing home if he doesn't change

[@shikuthetempest]

Gonna leave notes around my house that say "I am smart, I am skilled, I am FUCK SHITTING HELL" lmao

[@Indi_Waffle_Girl]

I’m dying at your “Fuck! Shittin’ hell! There’s a spider on the microphone!” 😆

[@heathermiller5765]

Watching other channels means sometimes hearing the some of the same stories. But upon hearing the title of Story 2 I started laughing because I knew you probably also would reading it. One of the many reasons I love listening to you read. I actually laughed til I cried, so hilarious 🤣

[@nyreejames5531]

"Fuck! Shit! Spider on the microphone", is how im ending my next zoom meeting

[@FanFicnic]

Omfg the spider thing was so good. I’m so glad you included it. 😂😂😂

[@pelgervampireduck]

story 2: the boyfriend will always defend and justify his horrible mom, the girlfriend better rethink if that's the kind of life she wants. super red flags.

[@Silence-1170]

Have a happy end of your weekends waffles wishing you all the best rewatching a anime that I wanted to rewatch.

[@silverkeys-nv2kj]

Aw what a cute little buddy you had helping you with your recording Mark! Send him/her my way, I love spiders ❤ 🕷

[@AllistorMichelle]

THANK YOU for the warning before the spooder pic. i am extremely afraid of those horrible freeloaders.

[@carolroberts4614]

British spiders are good! They earn their keep by eating all the bugs you don't want in your home! Freeloaders indeed!

[@AllistorMichelle]

@@carolroberts4614 lol I'd still be screaming my head off at them

[@lisarose6682]

The father is the reason the son is the way he is. One day the son will pull a prank on the wrong person.

Wow, you freaked out over that little spider.🤦🏻‍♀️

[@imperialspacemarine1539]

story 2: holy fuck thats a mommy's boy if i#ve ever seen one bloody hell. NTA I hope when he moves in with OP he does a total 180 and stops thinking "mommy is most important"

[@carolroberts4614]

I would put a hold on him moving in until he sorts his mother out.

[@niamhnir]

That blooper made my day. Keep up the great work.
