THIS IS HOW MY SIL RETURNED MY CAR AFTER A TRIP TO HER FRIEND — SHE REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES, SO I TAUGHT HER A LESSON.
I parked my car outside their house, but I didn’t stop there. I took some photos of the damages and went inside to confront my daughter-in-law. I told her that I was holding her accountable for the repairs, but she still refused to take responsibility. So, I decided to take action.
The next morning, I took the car to a repair shop and got an estimate for the damages. I sent her the bill, and when she refused to pay, I contacted her friend — the one she visited — to let them know what had happened. The friend was shocked and offered to help cover the cost.
It wasn’t easy, and my son wasn’t happy about my approach, but it taught her a valuable lesson about responsibility. She apologized and paid for the repairs and cleaning. While things are still tense between us, I feel like I finally stood up for myself.
