My hubby and I recently bought a new home together. His mom started pestering us for a copy of the key in case of an emergency. I told her about the rule we have and that is “only residents get to have a copy of the key”. She kept complaining and even got the family involved.
Last week, she demanded a copy of the key sent to her. I decided to grab the copy of the key to HER HOUSE that my husband had kept for years and sent it to her with a note saying “only residents get a copy so this copy is for the home YOU reside in”. She was beyond livid about it. She told the family and I was called names. Now hubby is complaining about how I escalated and made a mistake by upsetting her further instead of just sticking to “no”.
Did I go too far here ?
