A Vacation Standoff: Son vs. Mother and Uncle ️
Caught in a whirlwind of family drama, our vacation-planning hero finds himself at a crossroads. Should he stick to his guns and refuse to go on a trip with an unwelcome guest, or should he cave in to his mother’s pleas? The emotional tug-of-war is real as he grapples with the guilt of making his mother cry, but also the dread of another vacation turned sour. It’s a classic case of ‘damned if you do, damned if you don’t’. Let’s see what the world has to say about this vacation conundrum… ️
“NTA. Your mom is TA because ‘she couldn’t say no.’ Normally, people who say this aren’t the ones having to deal with the consequences of this. For example, it was OP who had to help the aunts, translate, share her room with uncle… Mom gets to be the good guy and does not have to deal with her siblings. Maybe this time, she will learn to have to deal with her brother instead of forcing OP to do it.”
