God help the daughter who threatens to deny her mom from seeing her grandchildren.

World's best MIL.

"Parker, I heard from Carmen's mother."

I guess Edith wasn't certain how I'd react "How are they doing?"

"Well, apparently someone misses you and was hoping that she hadn't burned that bridge."

"Awww, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Carmen's mother. What's her name again?"

Good story. Bonnie is another idiot slut whose momma don't care much for the skanky bitch. Good twist having Edith being the one kicking her ass. Guess Carmen makes it a Valentine's day story as Bonnie is done for. She was wanting to cheat,but did she ever go through with it. I liked the story, but it was a little hard to follow for me and not as tight and direct as your usual.

Needed more genital mutilation; it's not a happy valentine without four genital mutilations.

Those last 2 sentences make the whole story.

BTW: House arrest sucks. I got zapped for 6 months and it damn near killed me especially when my "Range" wouldn't let me even get down to the Lake to fish off the dock lol. But it was an important lesson on what can happen when you get lazy and you don't cover your tracks completely.

I really enjoyed this strange little story.

To moreandmore I'd like to say "More and more",

but that would be gready.

Thanks pal!

Top ratings from me.

Thank you for a very enjoyable read.

Edith is the clear star of the show. She loves her daughter enough to arrange some very dramatic lessons about the consequences of infidelity. She loves her innocent grandkids enough to make them the focus of her life and loves Parker for being a good father to them. She becomes a primary caregiver to four very needy souls and a source of vital support for Parker without a word of complaint. I like my MIL but she's no Edith.

Fortunately my wife is no Bonnie either.

Bonnie is an interesting mass of contradictions. Her sudden transformation from chaste teenager to defiant cheating wife seems a bit odd but having four children so quickly as a newlywed on the cusp of adulthood surely would be overwheming. She is just so much not her mother. Her maternal instincts pale in comparison. She has a strong sense of the bond grandparents have with their offspring, though, because she knew the perfect words to cut short the grandparents' intervention after the she announced that her plans to date. Sadly for her she overestimated her parents' loyalty to their daughter in the face of her selfish, reckless behavior.

The slut force is strong in her. Perhaps that's all one needs to understand?

Bad ass edith. Sooo funny

Loved the twist at the ending

Very Good Story

5*s

SOS

They weren't in love when they married so her wanting outside interests wasn't a surprise and could have been expected. I liked the story but felt there could have been a bit more from the ex wife's pov. Still 4 stars.

At first, I thought the author wasn't going to complete the part of the story who beat the crap out of Bonnie and her lovers. I was getting pissed as in "Just another author who didn't/won't finish a story"!

Then I read the last two lines and Bingo, great story!

I’m sure there will be many that won’t agree with me but I found this to be one of the most refreshing stories I’ve read in quite a while. In a time where it seems like the only unique quality about a story is the choice of names I found the things like the house arrest, the anonymous attacks on the wife, and the way that the husband was steadfast about his decision yet was obviously not secretly involved in the consequences provided a fresh plot. I think the only thing that might suffer from the shorter length is Carmen’s role and relationship. Great story to start the day with.

Good job. A little different and I had begun to suspect the in-laws as the attackers. This was an unusual and different plot.

I also appreciate the effort to not have any spelling or grammar errors. They are so easy to correct. I know because I miss spell grammar every time I type it and it is always underlined in red for me to correct. With a wife and two daughters who are grammar Nazis of the utmost degree this has beat into my head so many times.....

Anyway, great job. I appreciate the effort.

Love the ending.

So, not only did she hooked up her ex son-in-law with his new wife...

Not only did she RIGHTFULLY erased her daughter out of her life over her actions...

But she was behind said daughter getting DESTROYED for making a mockery of her marriage?

DAMN.

And, by the way, there's no way her husband, Roger, isn't fully aware of all of this. Hell, mutilating men's gonads is a man's job, isn't it? So, while the missus is taking care of their wayward child's hands, he was probably busy, dancing the whole set of "Riverdance" on the ballsacks of their daughter's lovers!

Man... don't you wish your parents-in-law were as cool as those two are?

One thing that was really off-putting about this whole story, though: Parker calling his own mother and father by their first name throughout most of the story. Literally threw me for a curve, when he said that Mark found him a divorce lawyer, which made me wonder "Who's Mark?"

Other than that... yet another winner from our man, Mr More.

Keep them coming, author.

don't piss Edith off! 5*

As usual, nice story.

her own parents handle the slut. Apparently her ass didn't learn the lesson they were trying to teach.

5* Wow! Best story in last month. BTB with hammering her lovers. Love Edith! Fists of Righteousness! Kewl!

Justice was served.... great story.5

A well-written story, a happy ending, and the BTB is delivered by the cheating wife's own Mother. Excellent. Thanks for posting.

@SKHP, yes at least one set of grandparents behind the assaults.and yes, the ring on the pinky was Bonnie's.

"She had worn my wedding band and her maternal grandmother's wedding band." Edith: "Oh these? This one is my wedding band this one is my mother's wedding band."

Guess I should have figured that out when they testified at the custody hearing. Well done.

But I thought the dad did the cutting lol. Oh the coffee goes good with btb stories!!! Thanks for a good read.

I read the story and waited for the comments. Now that some are up I will put my two cents in. Yes it was great to read that Edith was a bad ass, but I think we all missed (though not written) where his parents were in on the beat downs also. If I remember right, two rings were missing, maybe we should look at his mom's hand also. Never fuck with a grandparent.

Talk about a parents tough love

Great read well written - professional!

Wicked fun! 5*

Bonnie has not one redeeming value. She even threatened her own parents which is why I guess her mother took action. That was a bit different and fun.

Who else knew?

Felt a little sympathy for Bonnie trapped in the house, BUT, she didn't have to be a bitch about it.

Well done story, drew me in and I could identify with Matt.

*****

Kinda figured the grandparents might be in cahoots but Edith turned out to be something else. Well played.

Ooooh..... momma Edith is da BOMB!!

The ending made the story.

you cut out toxic people, even your own flesh and blood.

oh sure, you try your best to make forgive them. maybe you argue your points.

but eventually you have to decide what's best for everyone. bonnie didn't give a fuck about anyone else but bonnie. she deserved every bad thing that happened to her after that.

and by 'used to', i mean literally one generation ago! i love my family. real salt of the earth types. they'v 'detoxed' other family...by strapping them to a chair. we let the state do and sanction everything, and these are just people. there's literally nothing separating them from everyone else. we have this fetish, this fantasy....that there will be specialized people for everything....and we'll never have to exert effort beyond one thing...and life will be easy street. life is messy. you gotta learn to be a master of none. and there's a real pride from learning something new. edith didn't need therapists, social workers, contracts, legal teams, police, detectives, photo analysis. she pulled up her adult pants, took a hammer to her own daughter, used a magic marker. did it two times. now her family is safe from a toxic influence. her toxic daughter is now completely allowed to be a rotten human all by herself. no enabling by family, or the legal system. she's gonna have to do the work herself, if she wants to escape a small hell of her own making.

Good story. The ending with Edith was simply awesome!

My solitary little nitpick with this is I was wondering what happened with Carmen during that year away that she suddenly missed him and wanted to come back? Did she start something with someone else and it didn't pan out? Did her mom not need her help anymore? Inquiring minds want to know! Or, I would, at least, in his shoes. If she's not that enthusiastic about him and he's just her fallback plan, he could wind up in a similar situation to what he just escaped from.

That aside, this was a lot of fun.

Thanks for the story.

Cog

Don't threaten to keep mama bear in law's brands away from her, you might get a little hands on justice. Great story with a different slant.

I did wonder about that.

A great, 5* story.

Outstanding story with some fresh ideas. ***** stars!

...as usual. 5 stars. Thanx!

Loklie

Five on two is very difficult!

Thank goodness for Super Edith!

Well told yarn!

Thanks and please keep writing!

This one very much deserves the red "H". Great plot with excellent technical execution. Gotta love the MIL...a unique character in LW

Great ending and we'll deserved after Bonnie's attitude and threats. Separating Edith from her Grandchildren sounds like a bad idea.

I really enjoyed this I would definitely say this was the ultimate btb. It was very well thought out and right up to the end I had no idea how it would end. Obviously as I have already said I really enjoyed the ending to.

Only thing i didnt like was carmen ending the relationship. She never even tried to make a long distant relationship occur or ask him to move sense all he needed was wifi. But glad she came back.

(singing) If I had a hammer......

Great story!

Wow, what a great BTB, never underestimate the power of Grandma-Edith/pa-Roger. Grandma's vengeance can be very shrewd; she orchestrates the two educational beatings, endears herself to the grandkids, and finds a true loving/supportive next-wife for her x-son-in-law. Grandpa Roger got short changed in the story as I suspect he was the hammer wielding stealth educator wearing a ski-mask with Grandma as his look out. But she is truly one tuff ole-bird I wouldn't want to cross!

And since Bonnie continued to ostracize her parents from her life she never spotted the ring.

Hooyah, Salute 6*... This one is worthy a Favorites listing.

All of the subtle signs were there all along. Edith wouldn't want her mother's ring tarnished, she immediately stepped up to help take care of the children. Brilliantly done author. 5*+

@Anonymous smokepole, where do you see Carmen knowing Bonnie? Edith brought Carmen to help him with the kids. As for slapping Bonnie, remember this: "If you EVER want to see your grandchildren again, you will stay OUT of my personal life!"

Nice one M&M, I did pick it early on, I like the (not so ) subtle confirmation at the end, even though I do not condone violence (especial against women), but some people just do not understand, NO. and sort of that behaviour, is not acceptable in a marriage.

Thanks!

Why didn't he ask Carmen what she had been doing and who had she been seeing in the last year.How come she can suddenly come back,her fathers situation is the same.The way her messages dwindled it is obvious she was seeing someone,who in the end didn't want a woman with a child,so she went to fall back plan.

Got to teach the cheating slut a lesson!!! Go Grandma!!!

I do love that ending! Good story.

Five Stars!

I really liked most elements of the story. It created some mystery about whether the assailant might be arranged by computer by the husband, while letting the reader suspect one set of grandparents or the other. That it was Her parents made this story good. The fixed up dating was the weak link and wasn’t entirely necessary for a happy ending. I agree with an earlier comment that he should have been more cautious before remarrying with a year’s gap with almost no communication.

I'd never have guessed a grandmother would be the one

Different type of cheating story.Nice to see that parents can disown their own and support the injured party.Not sure about Carmen.If she thought that much about him ,when her father died,she would have hurried back.Methinks he is a fall back from some thing that didn't workout back home.

It was nice to see that after all the bullshit the slut put him through he ended up with a good woman. And what great in-laws he had. Of course most of their generosity was self-serving, they wanted to make sure they kept access to their four grandkids. Can’t blame them. Oh, as for the comment someone made about parents never disowning their child over a few bitter words? Someone needs to get out in the real world a little more.

Reality hell great story enjoyed

What most don't realize...

After that second hand is destroyed.... who's going to wipe her ass???

Change her pads (tampons)??? And Feed her??

That's a Huge imposition!!! She can't do Anything for herself.

If she's 'compensating' a lover for the inconvenience, she better be some amazing pussy, not to mention give amazing head.

Reading again. J-W is right, it was a great ending for a great story.

The story was good but the ending twist was ABSOLUTELY STELLAR!!

friends and buddies are OK in some aspects and a lot better in others TK U MLJ LV NV

After 11 months of home confinement, Parker just couldn't go out and do a ten mile run and be walking afterwards.

Was a definite solid four as a tale ... till that last line.

Gave you a five.

Sweet!!!

Really great guy to be Dad and Mom. Can't even begin to imagine the workload involved.

Haha. Badass grandma. That was too funny

i wonder if mom, kicked her in the pussy to?

was the last I suspected for the assaults.

Reasonable story,though I think Carmen only came back because she couldn't find anyone prepared to take her plus her son.A year away is along time just sit on your feelings if they are genuine.

Great ending.

Great story. I did see the end coming.

I think a shotgun wedding would be more stressed and a more likely cause of friction would be more mundane. What we know about their character us that they put the welfare of their child ahead of themselves by marrying. They also see marriage more than fairytale romance.

So to me, if one would be tempted, it would not be merely wanting to hookup with someone

An uncommon treatment of a common theme! Well done!

Thanks for writing!

Mostly a good story. I didn't enjoy the time Carmen was away.

Gangster Gramma!

A rare story in which the physical punishment isn't reserved just for the bastard. Bravo "Edith"

DAYYUM! Her own Mother smashed all her fingers with a hammer? That is one Hard-Corps Grandma! Good for her. It’s too bad she felt like she had to do it, but it did seem like the girl was a bit out of control. As the old saying goes, I guess, if you want a mule to do something, you just have to whack it upside the head with a two by four to get its attention first. It’s too bad that jackass daughter of hers just refused to learn. Very nice story.

Grandma is cool!

The pain was truly warranted. Brilliant that the husband was able to appreciate it but not have to inflict any of it himself. I am afraid that the cheap, cheating slut daughter would recognize her wedding ring if she saw it again so Edith wearing it openly might not be a good idea.

Nitpick is right. A small but bothersome point of contention in a very very good story. Carmen's choice to stay for a year invites too many questions on her motives, especially for a severely burned ex husband who only really knew her for a short time.

Nice! So often even BTB authors won’t allow any physical pain to the cheating wife. Good to read a story with consequences for everyone who chose the wrong.

ZK

I generally liked it, except for the unnecessarily having Carmen choose not to come back to him, which didn't seem to me to add anything worthwhile to the story.

Gotta love Edith.😍

LOVE IT!! It's nice to see a bitch get what she truly deserves. Way to go Edith. DMW

2 questions; 1-why did bonnie start acting like a cunt and start cheating and treating hubby like a turd and 2- why did she think she was in the right to do # 1 w/o reason and wouldnt face any consequences? Finally, why did she say she loved him and think he would accept her idiocy?ok 3 ?s

re jflinders

Ever hear of drama? Or intrigue? Or just plain interesting?

Well done, a fun story 5*

Edith is a very Cold lady! I love her! Lol!

Edith rocks!!!!!

Very entertaining. Figured out it was Edith early on since hubby had that ankle monitor.

.

Only 2 thing keeping this from a 5, and both were similar: first, lack of any explanation for Bonnie’s BLATANT cheating. Story could have used a conversation between her and hubby at some point in the drama. Second, lack of any explanation for Carmen’s actions…first letting go and then coming back. Just did not compute.

Edith Rocks!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Yes Edith ROCKS! 5 Stars

Great he divorced the cheating wife!!

Did not like the Carmen character - pathetic since there is so many fish in the sea!!

The intrusion of Edith and Julie was over limit!!

Yeah. “Another softer story…”. Let’s see, Bonnie got both hands smashed by what was probably a hammer, possibly permanently damaged. Both of her boy-toys got stomped, kicked, and had their privates smashed. She lost her husband, her four kids, and her parents. And she has to pay child support for four young children. Damn, moreandmore, if this is one of your “softer” stories I’m not sure if I can handle one of your hard-core stories. All that said, it’s a great five star story with a killer twist at the end. I did NOT see that one coming.

Dee

By the second time. Nothing obvious, just my gut. Guess I was right.

NEVER threaten a grandmother with the loss of her grandkids. A granny bear is far more scary than a mommy bear. Granny bears have experience on their side, and don't care about consequences.

I love the Edith character. She's badass bitch who got our hero's back and then some. The perfect MIL.

Yeah, great story, thank god for grand parents that know how to get things done. Bonnie was sure hit with the Martian Slut Ray but the grandparents had an antidote.

HTB - Hammer the Bitch

Well done!
