My Coworker Wants My Husband to Drive Her to Work While I’m on Maternity Leave — That’s Not Even the Craziest Part

Maternity leave was meant to be a time of bonding, but it turned into a nightmare when my coworker Emily overstepped all boundaries.
I had been giving Emily rides to work, but as my leave approached, she panicked about transportation. She even suggested my husband, Mark, should drive her. When I refused, she grew resentful.
One morning, I woke up to find our car missing—Emily had taken it, using our spare key. She returned with her boyfriend, acting as if it was no big deal. The police arrived, but Mark chose not to press charges. Instead, he firmly told Emily to stay away from our family.
We changed our locks and installed security. Days later, Emily texted an apology, but we didn’t respond. This ordeal tested us, but it made our family stronger.
