Daphne’s life turns chaotic when her mother-in-law, Helen, moves in and takes over the house, criticizing every detail. Helen’s constant meddling and harsh comments push Daphne to her breaking point. Determined to teach Helen a lesson, Daphne makes a surprising phone call that changes everything.
“Daphne, I can’t believe you left the dishes in the sink again. Poor John has to live in this mess,” Helen remarked, standing in the doorway with her hands on her hips.
“I’m doing my best, Helen,” Daphne replied, trying to keep her voice steady. “I’ll do the dishes soon. I was really tired this morning.”
Helen sighed dramatically, “Back in my day, we managed just fine, no matter what.”
Helen had been living with them for two weeks, due to renovations at her place. She acted like she owned the house, rearranging furniture and criticizing Daphne’s housekeeping. It was driving Daphne crazy.
Determined to change things, Daphne made a call to Mrs. Anderson, Helen’s own critical mother-in-law. When Mrs. Anderson arrived, her harsh scrutiny left Helen speechless. Daphne intervened, defending Helen, and making Helen realize her own behavior. This marked the beginning of a more respectful relationship between them.
