AITA for telling my MIL to never undermine me in front of my children?

“Wife was out of town last weekend for work, so my MIL volunteered to take our 12-year- triplets to a movie.

Before she got to our house to pick them up I asked my daughter to clean up the mess she made in the kitchen.

I asked 2 more times after that, and when my MIL arrived it still wasn’t done.

I was staring to get upset, so I asked her again in a more stern tone.

She tried to argue back that she did, so I asked about the kettle on the stove that still had food in it.

She had to get in the middle of it…

It was at this point that my MIL started criticizing me and saying it wasn’t that big of a deal.

When I mentioned that we were specifically working with the kids on cleaning up after themselves she dismissed me and started talking about when she sees things that I don’t always put away like tools and stuff.

When they got back I pulled her off to the side.

I told her that I appreciate everything she does for us, but with all due respect please do not undermine me in front of my kids again, and that I felt extremely disrespected.

He put his foot down.

If she ever disagrees with something I say or do she is welcome to pull my aside and talk about it in private, but never in front of the kids.

Of course she left crying and my wife isn’t speaking to me.

AITA here?”
