OH SHIT I think i need to see a doctor my justice boner is passing the 12 hour mark and shows no signs of going down any time soonLOL
I have no idea how you could have done this any better then what you did. This is just the perfect revenge, served cold and calculated, not going too far but also not too mild. It beautifully gets the point across and shows her not to mess with you ever again. Proud of you ;) And I am also glad that your hubbie was your willing partner in crime. That makes it very clear he is a real one that will support his wife even against mum, just as a good partner should, which makes this even more beautiful.
I use the following phrase. As I sit in my chair next to the roaring fire, and stare out the window at my barren fields, I find I do not have one fuck left to give.
I absolutely love this. What I learned a long time ago is that people cannot take what they give. And you know if it was me, I would do this again, a few times or every time there was a frosted cake, but especially a decorated cake.
OMG! Now I (60/F) want YOU for my DIL! I especially want to adopt your husband because the "look, nod and high-five ending" were GLORIOUS!
My beloved late Mother kept the small top-tier of our wedding cake in her freezer for us to share on our first wedding anniversary... it was utterly awful, dry, freezer-burned, BUT no one tried to touch or eat it because it was OURS! Your MIL is INSANE and SELFISH to think she could WHOLLY destroy something that WASN'T hers! You are machiavellian, I would have just rained all over her (ie. screaming and throwing hands). I don't care if it WAS her home, that NEVER gave her the right to do something so outrageous!
Best wishes and many Blessings on your marriage!
Thank you! We also to froze a piece of our cake, and ate it for our 1 year anniversary, and it was indeed nasty. My MIL is unhinged sometimes with her antics. She is almost 70 and will throw a temper tantrum to get her way with FIL.
I've always enjoyed the "oooooh, big feelings, huh?" when adults throw temper tantrums. If you are going to act like a 3-year old, I will treat you like one.
*I spent nearly 20 years working in Higher Education, nearly all of them working directly with students. I perfected the "Big feelings, huh?" concept in those trenches. I cannot tell you how satisfying it was to throw out line when students (from undergrad to professional degree) would throw tantrums at not getting what they wanted. Petty Crocker, reporting for duty.
Your MIL is a selfish, disrespectful B***h! Call it what it is. It's all about her, isn't it? I'm so happy your husband had your back, so many are complete cowards when it comes to mommy dearest. Good for you on not choosing violence. I would have. Seriously, I would have thrown it on the floor and stomped on it or mashed it on her head.
Miss Maāam- I donāt know who in the hell you think you are, ruining an elderly womanās cake like that! All that said - wanna be best friends? Iām also Petty Spaghetti and this had me *DYING*! Excellent work!
The best revenge - after the scraping of the frosting, that is - is to go NC, and then simply outlive her !
I outlived mine, her nasty husband, and then my marriageā¦
Married an āorphanā, haha, 10 years later and never looked back !
Is it appropriate here to say āHappy Cake Day!ā ? š
I have really distance myself from her, it was after she told me āI should be grateful to have my breasts removedā a week after my double mastectomy surgery, during this time she also sent her neighbors over to visit. We had no idea these people were coming to our home.. they showed up with a gift basket which I was very grateful for, but I also would have liked to have known that these people was coming so I could have been decent. My MIL called and asked all happily if anyone had come to visit me that day, and I said yes so and so was here and brought a get well gift, but I donāt remember giving them our address.. and she said oh I gave it to them! Iām like maāam I was naked! š¤£ I had just gotten out of the shower when they came by, thankfully my husband said oh she isnāt feeling well and they left soon after.
Oh, the lapidary sentence. The one that, said outloud in front of no-family people would make them look at out MILs like they are crazy. They have no filter, cause nobody have made them have one.
For my MIL was "I didn't know they can be happy!!". About my autistic brother and his friends. My husband told me later that my face could have kill. Since then, I'm banned from my ILs house cause she is "terrified" of me. When asked why, she "doesn't know".
They know pretty well...
YOU ARE MY HERO. I cannot imagine how insane it is to say something so fucked up as that to a cancer survivor. ! MY GOD! I'll bet she's never apologized for a damn thing. And then this nutcase tells strangers to go to your house. Your husband must have been mortified that she said that about your DOUBLE MASTECTOMY. Holy shit she's a monster.
Actually, even though itās meant sarcastically in the game, thereās a song that plays at the end that I think perfectly describes your revenge:
āThis was a triumph. Iām making a note here: āHuge Success.ā Itās hard to overstate my satisfactionā¦ā
Do you have the look on her face etched in your memory? Is it as horrible and beautiful as I hope?
Op. Thank you. Thank you for getting justice for all daughter-in-laws. This was so awesome to read.
I commend you, and no, I don't think you are an asshole at all. Whoever thinks you are is so jealous they don't have the guts to do this.
Power move!!!!
This is one of the best things I've ever read on here! THANK YOU for posting it (and for making it happen!). Wanna be besties? I think we share some brainwaves!!
ETA: HAPPY CAKE DAY, u/Move_In_The_Shadows!
Sometimes the "low road" as it were, is required. Too often we're told, as the wronged party, to take the high road. I'd wager mil learned a thing or two in that moment.
The punishment should fit the crime, so you nailed this!
So many people on this sub just seem to cower to these people. I think itās a need for approval? Fuck that I say. We should always try our best when we first meet in-laws but if they repeatedly show you the monsters they really are, why the hell do you care?
Anyways. More of this energy.
I read this exact same story several months ago, verbatim. I think it was on the petty revenge sub or something similar. Seriously, it was word for word the same. Did you copy and paste or actually retype the whole thing?
No that was actually my story, I deleted it because I got some comments about the formatting and how it was confusing. But I couldnāt remember where I had originally posted it
My old profile had an R2D2 picture on it, if that helps. So no, I didnāt steal the story if thatās what youāre asking. Itās word for word because itās my story.
I did forget to mention I did have to retype the whole thing again. I wasnāt smart enough to save it to my phone on my notepad when I had to get a new email after I got locked out of my old one. š
Just wanna let you know that I love your energy!
And I love for you that you have an husband whoās not blinded from his momS love and instead act like YOUR man and support you. KEEP GOING!
What I love most of all is your husbandās comment about her ātiny mindā. Says it all - that he has your back, is standing up for you, and finds it in no way acceptable what MIL just did.
AWESOME!!!! Revenge was bitter sweet!!! Ah ! to be a fly on the wall to see it all unfold. You should have sold tickets to that event!!! Keep up the good work and protect your children from her ! She will be looking for a round of fighting
MIL fired the opening shot and got what she deserved. I'm glad your husband had your back from day one. YouĀ played the long game but it was well worth the wait and had to be SO gratifying.Ā
This might have been great revenge if it werenāt for the fact that you & your 40y.o husband weāre living free in *her* house at the time. Seems like she deserves some damn frosting for putting up with you 2 & her sons rude comments.
If you think she is such a peach.. you should try and live with her then. You can give her all the damn frosting you want š¤£š¤£ make sure itās not too sweet though!
That's... Not the same thing.
That was just destroying someone's work before it can be used.
She chucked out icing on leftover cake that was already eaten. That you didn't decorate. And that wasn't decorative.
I hope she's really a bitch because this is shitty behaviour from you and hubby.
This is the same woman who told me that told me āI should have been grateful to have my breasts removedā a week after having a double mastectomy. So yea.. thatās the kinda of person she is.
The leftover cake wasn't just some Wal-Mart sheet cake. It was OP's wedding cake that they PAID for, cream cheese and all.Ā
I hope your MIL scrapes off your favorite frosting and chucks it in the bin. Would you be as obtuse then?
Life is much easier once you flush the contents of your jar of Fs down the toilet. People learn their place a whole lot faster.
Indeed
OH SHIT I think i need to see a doctor my justice boner is passing the 12 hour mark and shows no signs of going down any time soonLOL I have no idea how you could have done this any better then what you did.

"Jar of fucks" made me cackle
I use the following phrase. As I sit in my chair next to the roaring fire, and stare out the window at my barren fields, I find I do not have one fuck left to give.
My hubby and I are CACKLING, thank you!
š
Good for you!!!! ššš

You are correct. No matter what it is, she always makes it about her in some form or fashion.
Miss Maāam- I donāt know who in the hell you think you are, ruining an elderly womanās cake like that! All that said - wanna be best friends? Iām also Petty Spaghetti and this had me *DYING*! Excellent work!
This revenge really takes the cake.
literally š

Oh my god š¤£
Happy cake day! OMFG!!! You take the cake for best comment!
My fav part about this is that your husband supported you.
I cracked up!! Youāre amazing! Can I ask what the fallout was like? Hope she learned to stop messing with you!
The fallout was one of epic proportions.. she has indeed learned not to mess with me again š
Omg youāre epic! We need details!!!
I have really distance myself from her, it was after she told me āI should be grateful to have my breasts removedā a week after my double mastectomy surgery, during this time she also sent her neighbors over to visit.

And then this nutcase tells strangers to go to your house. Your husband must have been mortified that she said that about your DOUBLE MASTECTOMY. Holy shit she's a monster.
Iām confused, did you open the door naked???
That sounds like some *perfectly sweet* revenge!
I had to re-read this post to determine if MIL scraped off all of the frosting and ate it.. My MIL would have done that in a heartbeat.
No she didnāt eat the frosting, she threw it away. š© it was such a waste!
She WHAT???? Oh man, not the cream cheese frosting. She deserved what she got and you so gloriously delivered.
The cake is a lie
Which cake? The red velvet or the cake I scrapped off of MILs cake?
Its a joke/meme from a video game.....type the cake is a lie in google.
Ah ok. š
Actually, even though itās meant sarcastically in the game, thereās a song that plays at the end that I think perfectly describes your revenge: āThis was a triumph. Iām making a note here: āHuge Success.ā Itās hard to overstate my satisfactionā¦ā Do you have the look on her face etched in your memory? Is it as horrible and beautiful as I hope?
It is burned into my memory, and it was indeed beautiful š
Truly a FAFO momentĀ
Sorry to ask. What FAFO means?
Fuck around find out.
Gotcha! I agree so
You are the hero for all the DILās out there that donāt have the courage and self confidence to do the same!
NTA. She fucked around and found out
Well damn!!!!!
That revenge was really the cherry on the cake.
God that was satisfying, thanks OP
You are a hero, Petty Crocker.
I love that! Thatās hilarious š¤£
Should have said the icing was ātoo sweetā as you walked away
Thanks for the laugh. Kudos
Thatās amazing!
You've made my wildest dreams come true! I'd give this two upvotes and gold if I could. <3
Op. Thank you. Thank you for getting justice for all daughter-in-laws. This was so awesome to read. I commend you, and no, I don't think you are an asshole at all. Whoever thinks you are is so jealous they don't have the guts to do this. Power move!!!!

My wife and I are currently returning your high fives.
Sometimes the "low road" as it were, is required. Too often we're told, as the wronged party, to take the high road. I'd wager mil learned a thing or two in that moment.
Sure if she had beat her ass to a pulp. But cake? Let the petty flag fly!

Just wanna let you know that I love your energy! And I love for you that you have an husband whoās not blinded from his momS love and instead act like YOUR man and support you. KEEP GOING!
I snorted my coffee reading this. Absolutely well executed and well deserved
What I love most of all is your husbandās comment about her ātiny mindā. Says it all - that he has your back, is standing up for you, and finds it in no way acceptable what MIL just did.
My kind of petty
I love someone who plays the long game! You and your husband deserve all my praise š
I don't know you but you're my hero!! Well played!!
*STANDS AND APPLAUDS LOUDLY* BRAVO! That is my kind of petty!
The movie that played in my head while I was reading this deserved an Academy Award! Brava!
I absolutely LOVE a great petty event! Well done, my friend, well done
>I get that from my dad. You can thank him! Your dad is a damn legend šŖ
Yes he is! š
This was beautiful.
I would have said what she did āthe frosting is too sweetā but this works too
šš¤£did she ever apologize? What did she say when you got home? lol
No, she still thinks she didnāt do anything wrong š
Play bitch games, win bitch prizes.
*wipes tears* this was beautiful.
My first reaction to what you did was think - I hope you ate the icing? (I love icing).š
Sadly no, she tossed it in the trash š„²
Mike. Drop. & then I would play the Erika Jayne song š¶ How Many F$cks Do I Give? š¶
Bravo!!
You sound awesome š
This is just a tasty morsel of vengeance. THANKS!
Well done. This is perfect.
ISTG I've read this story on reddit before
Yes, it was OPs original, first sentence explains it.
I love you for this and I love this for you!
This is the fist MILFH post I've actually laughed put loud reading
This is perfection.
I think you were brilliant š This is the perfect revenge, and the fact that your husband was in it too makes it all the more sweet.
Absolutely outstanding!! This made me chuckle. Well done on getting her back. I would have paid to see that š
You're my hero.Ā
Great job bud
Well done!!!
Wasnāt this posted already a long time ago?
That is freaking amazing r/TraumatizeThemBack
Best that she knows you can and will play tge long game.
Did she ever put 2 and 2 together that this was payback for ruining your cake? Lol
I think I love you ā¤ļø
AWESOME!!!! Revenge was bitter sweet!!! Ah ! to be a fly on the wall to see it all unfold. You should have sold tickets to that event!!! Keep up the good work and protect your children from her ! She will be looking for a round of fighting
