A woman has banned her mother-in-law from her home because she keeps feeling up her husband and making lewd suggestions to him. The fuming wife said that the woman had been acting like this for a year and it was making her husband feel so uncomfortable he ended up swearing at his mother.

She told other users of Reddit that the straw that broke the camel's back was one instance when the mother-in-law arrived at their house unannounced with some bras that were too small for her, so wanted to give them to the wife's 12-year-old daughter Candace. However, instead of handing them to Candace she turned to the husband, put the bras up to her breasts and said: "I guess my boobs are bigger than I thought, see? They're cute bras though, right? They would have looked good on me if my boobs weren't huge."

The woman said: "The entire time she was literally dead-panning my husband with the weirdest look on her face. He just stares at her, shakes his head and then goes 'well that was f*****g gross and awkward, I'm going to go throw up now'. And walks outside. She then turns to me and says, 'Jake's always been weird about my boobs. But he used to love them'. And then yells out toward the door 'right hunny' and turned back to me laughing. (Talking about him as a baby, since he's the only kid of hers that she breastfed). My daughter retreated to her bedroom at this point after raising her eyebrows at me."

She said the sexual behaviour started with the mother-in-law smacking her husband's bottom when he was bent over, at which he told her to never do it again, but since then she has gone "out of her way to be flirtatious because she thinks it's "funny" that he's so grossed out. He's told her to stop. He even stopped answering her phone calls at least 60 percent of the time. Since then she's just started showing up here".

She added: "So anyways, I look at her and say 'you're f*****g weird and should probably get your head checked if you think flirting and making sexually charged comments toward your son is appropriate'. She was offended, of course, and told me that I was 'filthy' for assuming she meant anything vulgar by it and tried saying again that she only says this stuff because she thinks its funny to get a rise out of him.

"So I said "it's not funny that you're being sexual with your son actually, it's disgusting. Maybe the stroke you had eight years ago f****d with your head more than you think it did'. I then told her to leave and told her she was no longer allowed on my property. Since then she has turned her daughters against me, who have texted me and accused me of trying to paint their mother in an incestuous light and have stated that it's not their mother's problem or fault that I'm prude and love drama. Am I the a*****e?

Other users of the site said that while the behaviour was weird and gross, they wondered if her stroke had indeed caused a personality disorder, with one saying: "Taking her to a neurologist is a good idea. Loss of inhibition, personality changes etc can occur due to hidden strokes, other neurological conditions," while another said: "Erratic behaviour is frequently an indicator of a serious neurological issue. It’s better to arrange to take them to a doctor instead of medically shaming them. They are not doing this deliberately nor can they understand something is off. It’s much more kind and compassionate."

A third person said: "Not the a*****e. You protected your husband. She is freaking weird and it's even worse she did that when your kid was there," while a fourth was also worried about the woman's mental state and said: "If she doesn't have a history of being eccentric or inappropriate, possible that the stroke did some brain damage, or even that she might be developing something else, like a tumour, that is putting pressure on her brain and causing her to be very uninhibited. She might need some kind of treatment."
