Family vacations can be a source of joy and bonding, but for one adult son, they’ve become a battleground. His mom, who he describes as difficult, has a rocky relationship with his wife. After a trip years ago, where his then-girlfriend (now wife) wanted some couple time, his mom took offense and vowed never to travel with them again. But is the mom being petty, or does she have a point? Let’s dive into the story.
