| 0:00.0 | Am I the jerk for refusing to let my mother-law in my house to see my son as she is constantly coming at all hours while being completely neglectful of my son's needs? |
| 0:10.0 | Because at this point I seriously don't know what to do. |
| 0:12.5 | Here's what happened. |
| 0:13.4 | I want to start off by saying that all names in this story are fake. |
| 0:16.4 | So my husband, Jared, and I have a six-month-old son |
| 0:19.2 | that we will call Jed. |
| 0:20.4 | I'm a say-at-home mom and my mother-in-law Susan lives next door to us. |

| 1:08.8 | I told her at the door that it's not a good time and she said that she'll come back later. I told her please just |
| 1:14.6 | text me so I can make sure he's awake first. It took two hours to get Jed back to sleep and she |
| 1:20.1 | comes over 10 minutes after I get him down without texting me and wakes him up again. |
| 1:25.6 | This time I didn't answer the door. |
| 1:27.4 | I have a ring camera and she stood there for 15 minutes knocking every few minutes or so. |
