Everyone knows someone in this world who just can’t take a hint.

Not only do they lack a single ounce of social awareness, they have no awareness of when they are not welcome in a situation.

Unfortunately for woman, her daughter in law was one of those next level people, and wouldn’t listen to her repeated requests for some quiet time to herself after a long day’s work!

Was she wrong to snap at her to shut up for once? See for yourself!

AITA for telling my DIL to shut up and she can’t sit with me if she can’t stop talking

I live in a really peaceful area, which contrasts with my job a lot. I get home and I am usually spent.

I like to go on my balcony with a cup of tea and just enjoy the weather for a bit.

My son and my daughter-in-law moved in since their home is being repaired from water damage.

My son still travels for work and my DIL works from home.

Our relationship was fine before they moved in.

But this new living situation changed things entirely between her and her daughter-in-law…

The moment I come home she is all over me, I think it is due to working from home alone all day.

I have asked her multiple time to let me relax but that hasn’t done anything.

I have talked to my son and he just said she is happy to see me.

My wind down time is now her talking my ear off until my son gets home. I can’t get away from her for 5 minutes.

I am so exhausted.

Personally I am getting very annoyed and I can’t recover my social battery.

And the last straw was when her was recently trying to relax after a shift, despite her daughter-in-law’s best efforts!

Today I was sitting outside trying to decompress. She came out and would not stop talking.

I asked her politely to give me space and she didn’t.

I ended up snapping and told her to shut up, that she can’t sit with me if she doesn’t stop talking.

She told me I was rude.

My son is now on my butt about this and told me I need to apologize.

I really don’t want to since I think I was justified.

Reddit said she was completely within her rights to lay down a boundary, and if anything her son should be the one apologizing to HER!

This user said she was already doing them a favor by giving them a place to stay.

This commenter said it was perfectly natural to need time to decompress.

Finally, this user said that while she was rude, it was only because she had been pushed to her limit!

If it were me, I would be locking that balcony door the second I stepped out onto it!

I mean honestly.
