It's important to have intergenerational input in your household. We can learn from our elders, and if we're lucky enough to have them around, we should. They teach us things, give us perspective, and give us a chance to show our kids how we'd like to be treated when we're old. Too often, older generations are shuttered out of view, visited only on special occasions. But of course, there's a balancing that comes with this. Any family has family tensions, and it compounds when you get different generations in the mix.

That's what happened to one young mother whose mother-in-law stirred up some trouble. After she reached a breaking point, commenters were quick to set her straight. Read on for the story.
