Woman Bars Mother-In-Law From Seeing Her Daughter After She Cuts Her Hair Without Permission

One Reddit user, under the username u/No_Departure_937, recently posted a story about her family to the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit and asked, "AITA for barring my MIL from seeing my daughter after she cut and straightened my daughter's hair without permission?"

The OP shared that when her daughter came home from her in-laws' house, she found that she was crying with a shocking haircut. When she asked her daughter, she said her grandma had asked the OP for permission, and she agreed. But the truth was actually not. The MIL lied to her daughter about her approval.

Feeling upset, the mom and her husband decided to bar her MIL from seeing their daughter alone until she apologized and respected her boundaries.
