We often hear stories in which mothers-in-law are depicted as evil. Sadly, they sometimes really are and the reason behind it might be that they feel like their daughters-in-law ‘steal’ their sons from them.
A woman named Janisse shared the story of how her MIL plotted against her in order to turn her husband against her.
It was Janisse’s husband’s birthday and she was looking forward to the party she was preparing for him. She planned to invite all of Carl’s friends and family and wanted everything to go according to plan.
But just as she was getting ready to start preparing the food, Carl’s mother, Sally, called her and told her she wanted to help her with the preparations.
As Janisse always got along with her husband’s family, or at least she thought so, she told her MIL that she was more than welcome to lend her a helping hand.
When Sally arrived, she did help with the food, but in the afternoon, she started acting weird. As she was digging around the fridge and sighed every few minutes, she accused Janisse of not purchasing certain ingredient she needed for some special cookies.
“I can’t find any ingredients for the cookies I wanted to make. I told you that I would make the cookies I’ve made every year for Carl,” Sally said.
“We have so many desserts and the cake as well. So, I think it’s okay. We can do it another day for him,” Janisse told her.
“Janisse,” Sally sighed. “It’s really important to me, okay? It’s a tradition I started when Carl was only three years old. Can you go out and get the ingredients?”
As there was not much time left until the guests were about to arrive, Janisse decided to go to the store, which wasn’t that far, and grab the ingredients her MIL needed.
On her way home, Janisse felt like a superhero because she knew the party would be a great one, but her joy was short lived.
The moment Janisse opened the car’s door, Carl burst out of the house like she’d committed a crime and he wanted to catch her in the act. He accused her of leaving his mother all alone to prepare everything for the party. When she explained that wasn’t the case and it wasn’t as it looked like, he told her she wasn’t telling the truth.
Janisse tried to tell him that she was the one who prepared most of the food and that she only took a short trip to the store to grab the ingredients for the traditional cookies his mom made for him, but he said there were no such cookies and that she was childish to believe that ‘cookie tradition.’
Still unaware what was going on, Janisse went to her room. She had a quick shower and shortly after the guests started to arrive.
Carl avoided Janisse all evening, and when the time came for the cake to be served it was Sally who brought it to the table and started singing “Happy Birthday.”
Sally acted as though she was host and it looked like she was the one who was throwing the party for her son, not Janisse.
When the guests left and Janisse and Carl were alone, she tried to explain what really happened and that his mom plotted against her, but he didn’t want to listen because he was certain his mom would never do such a thing.
The following morning, Carl woke Janisse up and apologized for not trusting her. Janisse was puzzled and asked him what made him change his mind about the entire situation. He then explained that his mother was bragging to someone about her master plan, but she accidentally sent the message to Carl.
Carl then went to the other room, in which his mom spent the night, and tried to talk to her in order to learn why she would do such a horrible thing. It turned out that contrary to what Janisse believed, her MIL didn’t really like her because of her political and religious beliefs. Janisse was shocked because her MIL never mentioned anything about it before.
However, no matter what Sally did, Carl and Janisse decided to forgive her eventually.
“We’re going to Bali to celebrate your birthday next year,” I told him. “No friends, no family, and absolutely no drama!” Janisse told her husband.

Throughout her more than 50-year acting career, Helen Mirren has undoubtedly won over a devoted following. Her dedication to aging gracefully has further increased her notoriety.
Before making her stage debut on London’s West End in 1975, Mirren began her career as an actress in the entertainment sector, having joined the Royal Shakespeare Company.
The 78-year-old, however, didn’t become well-known until much later in life; at 35, she earned her breakthrough part alongside Bob Hoskins as a gangster’s girlfriend in “The Long Good Friday” (1980).
For the majority of her adult life, Mirren had prioritized her job over finding the proper partner and starting a family. up until she met US film director Taylor Hackford, who is now her husband.
In a 2016 AARP interview, she said, “I was 38 when I met Taylor, pretty late in life,” recalling how the director had kept her waiting for an audition when they initially got together. After she finally secured the role, they got to know one another and their romance developed.
In the end, Mirren and Hackford connected through their shared working-class backgrounds—her father was a Russian aristocrat who fled to the UK during the Russian Revolution and supported his family as a cab driver; her mother was a working-class woman whose family descended from a long line of butchers).
The future couple, who both worked in the entertainment business, appeared to share a similar perspective on narrative and grew close over their shared love of travel.
Hackford remained adamant about being a mother even though her two ex-husbands’ children approved of Mirren’s union with their father. She did, however, clarify that she thought Hackford’s commitment to being the greatest dad possible for his kids was kind of cute.
After realizing that they would be together forever, the couple eventually got married in 1997. They had been together for more than ten years at that point.

Turning around, Mirren’s husband claimed his wife was being “paranoid” because he was unable to see the paparazzi. As it happened, a tabloid published a picture of Mirren wearing a red bikini, and it quickly became viral.
A few years later, the actress claimed that the picture was a coincidence to Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show, stating, “I look at that picture and say, god, I wish I looked like that.” However, I don’t.
The picture of Mirren, who was 63 years old when it was taken, continues to astound people years later. Many people have commented on the internet that, even if they are decades younger, they don’t look half as good as her!
simply before turning 68 in 2014, the Oscar winner discussed the photo with People, saying, “The truth is I don’t really look that good, it was just a flattering picture.”
“I really am past the bikini-wearing age,” she continued. I wouldn’t generally wear one. I appear to be a sixtysomething woman. I never looked good in a bikini, not even as a young girl.
