The apple doesn’t fall from the tree

So I'm outside relaxing enjoying this nice day as I don't get to do often. This is my first Sunday off in about 7 weeks. SO will be home around 3, SD13 is with my uncle's stepdaughter (they are BFFS), SS16 is working and SS15 (golden child) is hanging doing his thing.  So I have time I figured I'd share the wedding picture story. 
 

So BM and her mother (from what I'm told) have a on/off again relationship with each other. SO tells me that when BM and him were married everything was a constant compitetion with the ex MIL. They got a new car, she needed a new car, they did something, she needed to do something etc. SO hates ex MIL, the ex FIL went along with whatever ex MIL did.  The stories I've been told by SO about what ex in-laws have done (mainly to BMs brothers) are horrible. Not good people just over all. 

So about 8/9 months of SO and I being together ex MIL and BM were in one of their "fights" and were not on speaking terms. Ex MIL was trying to contact to BM to which she was unsuccessful. So what does ex MIL think is her next best option to get her daughters attention. Leave some of BMs belongings at OUR house. 

Ex MIL shows up at our house, (unfortunately I wasn't home or SO. I would have told her flat out absolutely you CAN NOT leave this crap here) unannounced, leaves some of BMs baby things, high school year book, random other crap, and SOs and BMs wedding photos. Apparently she had been storing them at her house for BM or something. Not only does  ex MIL leave these things at her daughters ex husband house, she takes out their main wedding photo of the two of them and lays it on top of the boxes she left. Like what???!!  What is the mind/end game to this little stunt?? Get BMs attention, get SOs attention, dig to me (like I really care) ?? 

SO found the crap before me so he texted BM and was like WTF. She "apologized" and took the crap the next time she took the skids. 
 

After that point of seeing that is when I started picking up on BMs manipulativeness, her games, etc. I always laugh and think of the wedding photo stories and be like well...... we know where she gets it from.

The Apple doesn't fall from that tree. That's for sure!

DH should told her to pick the crap up ASAP or. It's going into the dumpster .  
 

Seams  like DH has problems too.  He playing MIL games.  Giving ExMIL control over your home.  No way. Stuff goes by tomorrow

This is an old story before any boundaries were in place. That happened 4 years ago. That was the only time ex MIL came here and did something like that. SO and BM barely talk now. She does have her waves of attention seeking though.

Why does this woman have a key to let herself in and leave anything? Change the locks for goodness sake!
