My MIL insisted on babysitting every Wednesday — I hid a camera when my daughter started acting strange

Family ties can be complex at times, especially when it comes to in-laws.

When Martha’s MIL insisted on babysitting 4-year-old Beverly, Martha wasn’t thrilled. However, the MIL was adamant about taking care of the girl every Wednesday so that the two could bond and spend some quality time together and Beverly could take a day off from kindergarten.

Although Martha had her doubts, her husband, Jason, insisted his mother’s idea was worth considering, so Martha finally agreed.

However, Wednesday after Wednesday, Beverly started acting strange. Out of nowhere, she started talking about her grandma’s “special friend.” When Martha asked her who that special friend was, the girl hesitated to answer as though she was warned to keep it a secret.

After a couple of months, Beverly started talking about her grandma’s ‘special friend’ again. When Martha confronted her mother-in-law, she dismissed it, saying that little girls have wild imaginations. She brushed off Martha’s concerns and acted as if nothing unusual was happening in the house while she and Jason were away.

But Martha could sense something wasn’t wight.

Behind her husband’s back, she installed a camera in the living room, waiting to catch her MIL in the act.

When Wednesday rolled around, Martha turned on her laptop and watched closely what was going on in her home while she was at the office.

At first, nothing seemed off. Beverly and her grandma were having fun together, playing with building bricks and drawing with crayons. But then, someone knocked on the door.

Martha couldn’t believe her eyes. It was Alexa, Jason’s ex-wife.

When Beverly saw her, she ran towards her and hugged her as though she had known her since she was born.

Martha realized that Alexa was her MIL’s “special friend.”

Without giving it a second thought, Martha rushed home.

“What’s going on in here?” she yelled.

To her surprise, her MIL didn’t even try to defend herself. Instead, she turned to Martha and said, “My son should have never married you. Alexa has always been the right woman for him.”

Martha told both women to leave her house.

That evening, she showed the footage to Jason. He was shocked at what he saw and they both decided to keep their girl away from his mother.
