Many parents have a lot of opinions on how they think their children should live their lives. From things in their childhood all the way to when they become adults, some parents overstep and feel the need to put their “two cents” into everything.
As we get older, we sometimes expect our parents to back off.
When we’re adults, we don’t expect that our parents will be so opinionated on our choices.
However, some still are.
Recently, one son wrote into Reddit seeking advice on his own mother.
The son asked if he was wrong for uninviting his mother to his own wedding after comments she had made about his fiancé.
The Reddit user explained that his fiancé was in a car accident.
“My(31m) partner of 11 years Sarah (32f) was in a car accident 3 years ago that led to her having scars across her torso, left arm and jaw.
She has been hiding them with make up but you could still feel them and they made her very self conscious,” he said.
His fiancé wanted to have them removed before their wedding.
“We had talked about her having them removed before we got married as she admitted she wanted to put off getting married due to them.
At xmas of 2019 I got an unexpected bonus from work and as we already had a substantial amount set aside for a wedding I suggested we use the bonus to pay for plastic surgery,” he continued.
Now, his fiancé is “much happier” about her position.
However, when she had gone dress shopping with his mother for the wedding, his mother made a comment about her scars seeming to look very different.
“Sarah explained about the plastic surgery and then my mother didn’t mention it again so we didn’t think it was a big deal,” he said.

They didn’t think anything of it, until his mother spoke to him about it.
“Until yesterday when I was at my parents discussing the business dad and I co-own and she butted in telling me it was immoral to marry someone as indecent as Sarah and that it was disgusting that she had plastic surgery,” he said.
Now, the son told his mother that she will be “unwelcome” at the wedding if she continues this kind of talk.
He asked Reddit if he was “wrong” for speaking to his mother this way and uninviting her to the wedding.
Many said he was definitely “not an a**hole.”
Many said that this Reddit user was 100% right.
“Plastic surgery is not a moral issue, reconstructive plastic surgery doubly so.
Your mom sounds like a bit of a creep, so concerned about your wife suddenly being more confident and happier. She needs to do some real introspection,” one person said.
Others said this mom is horribly out of line.
“Regardless of the reason why your fiancé got plastic surgery even if it was a boob job your mom’s comments were disgusting. If she feels the person your marrying is so disgusting and immoral then why would she even WANT to be at the wedding. You did the right thing uninviting her stick to your guns unless she comes back with a SINCERE APOLOGY and cN keep her future toxic thoughts to herself,” another added.
