Throwaway. I (30F) still can't fathom what recently occurred. My brother Josh (27) married Kelly (26) last year after a brief three-month romance. They claimed she was his "soulmate." While my parents disapproved, I was simply concerned. I did not meet them so much since I lived two hours away.
I'm currently pregnant. My due date is in two months. We hosted our families, including Josh and Kelly, for my baby shower yesterday. However, right from the beginning, Kelly's behavior was off-putting; she was constantly making negative comments, Which I ignored. At one point, however, she loudly called the event "fucking dumb," leaving everyone shocked. My mother took her aside after a few mins and then Kelly asked for space from all of us and retreated to our guest room. Josh checked in on her once.
Toward the end of the party, when only few people were left in the house, Mom &I went to check on her but she was not in the guest room, and all rooms close to the GR had been looked into. We found her in our closet, going through our stuff. She quickly got out after saying she was looking for the restroom (despite knowing where it was in the hallway). She left to join the group in the living room.
I had already suspected something was up, so I wanted to check in all the rooms just in case. Nothing was missing or out of place except for the nursery. But what I also noticed was a foul smell in the room. I've been decorating my baby's nursery for a while now so I knew this was not normal. I was looking for the source when I looked over into the bassinet. I could not believe what I saw there - It was a full-blown turd. RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BABY'S BASSINET. There was no way an animal could've come into the room and it was clearly human poop. But I called my mom and husband in and they saw what I saw. There was only one person from the party who had been in this part of the house and it was Kelly.
At some point I started to cry and I stormed into the living room to confront her. When I called her out - her face told that she knew what this was about. She feigned innocence for a while but then asked me what proof I had to prove it was hers. This is when I Lost my cool and screamed at her to get out of my house. Josh got angry at me for trying to kick his wife out and screamed back. I asked him if her knew what was up, to which he refused. Then I told him, in front of everyone, that Kelly had pooped in the bassinet. He did not believe me, but I took him to show it and some other people also followed leading to public confrontation and shame. She started screaming, calling me a witch and saying she wished I die in childbirth - my husband promptly kicked both of them out.
Since morning however Josh and Kelly have both been texting me saying I embarrassed them and this could have been solved privately but they refuse to give me the reason why she did it or apologise so I am not responding anymore. AITA?
