Have you ever witnessed your parents do something you thought was pretty hypocritical?
One man recently upset his mom after he angrily left her Renaissance fair-themed birthday party because he felt she was acting hypocritical.
His mom recently turned 50, and they’ve been butting heads over the last few months. He’s engaged, and his mom has been making many snide comments about his fiancée. Aside from being standoffish with his fiancée, his mom has previously called her annoying and vapid, which greatly upset him.
Despite his mom’s behavior, he tried to stay on good terms with her, and a while back, his fiancée invited her to her bridal shower and bachelorette weekend, which was held at Disney. His fiancée is a huge Disney fan, and the weekend was very important to her, but his mom was judgmental.
His mom accused his fiancée of not only being childish and lame for liking Disney but also thought she was “vapid” for having several pre-wedding events like a bridal shower and bachelorette party.
When his mom planned a special trip for her 50th birthday, he decided not to attend for several reasons.
“I ended up skipping my mom’s birthday trip to Italy due to other commitments,” he said.
“To be fair, she was cool with this. I planned on taking her to dinner sometime since [turning] 50 is a big deal, but I received an invitation to a surprise party on the day of her actual birthday and decided to attend. When I got there, it was full Renaissance fair-themed, [with] costumes, games, food, [and] performers. It was like her own personal fair.”
The party was very impressive, and his mom was super happy with her surprise, as she’d been a fan of dressing up for Renaissance fairs for years. However, he began to feel angry as the day progressed.
