It's one thing to have an overbearing mom, but marrying into a family with an equally overbearing mother-in-law? That's a double whammy. One bride-to-be found herself in this unfortunate situation when she and her fiancé planned a romantic pre-wedding escape to Cabo. Thanks to some travel perks and points, they scored a luxury villa for next to nothing so they thought it would a perfect, stress-free getaway before their big day.
But when both of their moms caught wind of the vacation, they made it clear they wanted to join. While the couple loves their moms and spends plenty of time with them, this trip was meant to be a chance to unwind, reconnect, and maybe even skinny dip without parental supervision. Still, guilt crept in. Should they let their moms tag along and turn the trip into a group retreat, or hold their boundaries and prioritize time together as a couple? We think the answer is simple, but the couple needs a little more convincing.
How can I hire this couple as travel agents? Asking for a friend…
We've all fallen victim to the curse of people pleasing tendencies.
