My story is about learning to set boundaries, respect, and so much more.
What started off as a trip for a loving couple ended up being a strained vacation which included my troublesome mother-in-law.
Luckily, I had a plan that helped remedy my problem.
What was meant to be a romantic getaway for me and my new husband turned into a nightmare very quickly when an unexpected guest joined us.
Let me backtrack a bit and explain how all this happened.
My husband, Mike, and I were getting ready to go on our honeymoon.
We had planned this trip for months, and I was buzzing with excitement!
As we got into the car to head to the airport, Mike casually mentioned that we needed to stop by his mother’s place first.
“Why?” I asked, puzzled. “Because she’s coming with us.” I was confused and asked, “What?” Sighing, he explained, “She’s never been on a vacation or traveled abroad in her entire life, so it’s only fair she goes with us.”
To say I was stunned would be an understatement! “When were you planning to tell me this?
And what about our previous reservations?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm. “I changed the reservations and tickets a while ago,” he informed me.
“The truth is she insisted on it, and I thought you wouldn’t mind since you’re such a kind person.” That statement took me from confused to LIVID! I was furious that he had decided everything without me and had changed our bookings.
Just the idea of being away on the islands with my mother-in-law (MIL) for two weeks sounded like hell!
