One woman says her mother-in-law is finding creative ways to drop by her home unannounced
In a post on Reddit, the woman writes that her husband's mom stops by to see everything from art hung on the walls to a new furniture orientation
Now, she's turning to the internet for adviceOne woman says her mother-in-law is finding creative ways to drop by her home unannounced — but she's had enough of the unexpected visits.
In a post published on Reddit, the anonymous woman writes that her husband's mother "seems to have wiggled her way into my life."
Despite her husband recently telling his mom the couple couldn't spend a lot of time with her, she has now found new ways to interject herself into their lives.
"She calls my husband when she's close by, asking if she can stop by to either see the pictures we hung on the wall, our new furniture orientation, or even our new table in the house (which she saw when we bought it at the store because she was there)," she writes. "But she hasn't seen it in the house so she needs to come over?"
She continues: "Or when we finished some home projects and she called saying she had to drop something off for my husband, came over looked at it and gave her opinions and left without giving anything ... Then my husband and I decided to do a trip this year and she heard about it and said she's always wanted to go and we should go together."
"How do I prevent this behavior now and her just thinking she needs to come over because she wants to see every time we do something new in the house?" she asks in the ending of her post.

Other Reddit users are advising the woman to find her mother-in-law a hobby.
Writes one commenter: "She is lonely. She needs to find an outlet other than you and your husband. Is there a seniors' center in your city? I think the Y has classes for seniors. She could do tai chi or aquatic classes and meet people her own age."
Adds another: "You are going to have to sit down with your husband and come up with some consequences to her overstepping, then explain to her what they are and what will trigger consequences: 'You need to stop coming up with excuses to come to our house. We will invite you when we are ready.' "

Cottage Cheese Makers Can't Keep Up With Demand

Health influencers made cottage cheese so popular that companies are struggling to produce it fast enough. Once thought of as a kitschy diet food, lumpy bumpy cottage cheese is seeing an unprecedented rise in demand thanks to health influencers on TikTok. CNN reports that "young, protein-hungry consumers have whipped up new recipes and posted them online," creating a buzz that brands and manufacturers are struggling to satisfy. Related: Dubai Chocolate TikTok Popularity Causes Pistachio Shortage John Crawford, SVP of client insights for dairy at the market research firm Circana, told the news outlet that for decades, cottage cheese was considered "your grandparents' food," but "TikTok changed all that." Cottage cheese sales in the U.S. jumped 20% year over year, according to data from Circana. That follows an approximate 17% increase in 2024 and 2023. Cottage cheese is high in protein, low in sugar, and "appropriate for a GLP-1 diet," reports CNN. And has led to a slew of recipe videos that have gone viral on TikTok, like this one for "strawberry cheesecake ice cream." "Organic Valley Cottage Cheese is selling faster than we can make it," Andrew Westrich, marketing manager at Organic Valley, told CNN. Sales increased more than 30% in the first half of 2025, he says. Good Culture went so far as to post an apology to consumers who are having a hard time finding their products on grocery store shelves. "[D]emand has been WILD," they wrote, promising that they "are working around the clock to get us back in stock." Is this just another chapter in the fad diet life of cottage cheese? Crawford doesn't think so. "It is not a fad when you are seeing double-digit growth in both dollars and in volume, quarter over quarter over quarter, for two years," he told CNN.
