I (35F) have a morning routine that includes getting up at 5 AM, exercise, shower and work as well as making breakfast with my wife (Iris 33F) and our twins (Benjamin and Kate, they’re 10). We play upbeat songs and dance and sing together during that. I usually leave for work right away and Iris (she’s a SAHM) handles the kids.

My in laws were staying with us for the first time in the past 5 years. Iris was tired because she’d picked up her parents late at night. Kids wouldn’t let go and wanted some music. So I set the volume of the music to the lowest I possibly could (it was barely audible) and told the kids it was a challenge to lip sync quietly.

Also, the house is spacious, and the in laws were staying in the guest room that was farthest from the kitchen. We usually do this because we dont want to disturb our guests around the house.

It was all well until my MIL showed up. She called me an inconsiderate person and said I should have known better. She said I needed to start acting like a responsible adult of my own age and told me she was once again disappointed.

I just said sorry, and thankfully she went into her room. It was hard to keep my mouth shut but I did. I told Iris about this and she was furious. She had a huge fight with her parents. This issue is now a major conflict on her side of the family. I kind of feel responsible because it all started because of me. Aita?
