"Boy mom" demands pregnant daughter-in-law quit her job: 'As soon as she found out we were having a baby, she sunk her claws in'

Overbearing "boy mom" demands pregnant daughter-in-law quit her job: 'As soon as she found out we were having a baby, she sunk her claws in'

Picture in your head how the ultimate boy mom would act… well, that's exactly what this mom is doing, and it's affecting her son and daughter-in-law.

For many young couples, having a baby is the greatest gift they could ever give to their parents. Becoming a grandparent is an exciting time in a parent's life. They can guide their children through all of the sweet baby milestones, while also spending lots of time with that adorable grandbaby.

Having a baby is not cheap at all. All those diapers, baby food, clothing, strollers, and cribs add up to thousands of dollars. This family is already spending about $46k each year on their bills, and that's just with a couple of adults living in their home. However, there's a third person involved in this couple: the dude's mom is unbelievably overbearing. She seems to get herself involved in basically every aspect of this couple's lives, including their finances!

After that, check out this story about a stepdad who's demanding that his stepdaughter give a big chunk of her inheritance to her half-siblings, ages 10 and 12: "My stepdad has been insisting I share the money."
