"AITA for telling my MIL to get out of my house after she traveled 3 hours to come visit?"

In this situation, the woman finds herself frustrated and angry after her mother-in-law unexpectedly arrives at her home, without prior notice, while she’s attempting to take a nap with her 8-month-old daughter. This occurrence is not an isolated incident but part of a pattern where her husband fails to inform her about upcoming visits from family members. Despite expressing her discomfort with unannounced guests multiple times before, her husband continues to invite them over without consulting her.

Upon being awakened by her husband and mother-in-law, the woman voices her displeasure, stating that she and the baby are unavailable due to the nap. Despite her husband’s insistence that his mother traveled a long distance to visit, she firmly stands her ground, refusing to entertain guests when she hasn’t been given prior notice. This leads to a confrontation where she demands her mother-in-law to leave, causing tension between her and her husband.

After the mother-in-law leaves, the husband expresses his embarrassment and frustration towards his wife for “embarrassing him” in front of his mother. He argues that she could have spared just 30 minutes to entertain the guest, but the woman reiterates her stance on being informed beforehand about visitors. Despite her husband’s claims of having informed her, she maintains that she was not told.

In summary, while the woman’s actions may have appeared abrupt, her frustration stems from a recurring issue of lack of communication and consideration for her preferences regarding guests in her own home. She asserts her right to be informed beforehand and prioritize her and her child’s well-being over unexpected visits, despite her husband and mother-in-law’s objections.
