Mother’s Day Drama: Respect My Beliefs or Leave?
Our lovely mom met her son’s girlfriend for the first time during a Mother’s Day lunch. ️ The girlfriend seemed shy and quiet, but the real drama started when it was time for grace. The girlfriend didn’t bow her head or participate, claiming she didn’t grow up Christian and didn’t know the proper manners. Mom held her tongue, but later told her son he should bring over a girl with better manners next time. This led to a heated argument, with the son threatening to not come back if his girlfriend wasn’t welcome. Now, mom is left wondering if she’s in the wrong for wanting her beliefs respected under her roof. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
