MIL Makes Everything About Herself, Plays Victim After Son Finally Tells Her How Horrible She Is

For many families, a trip to Disneyland and Universal is the stuff of dreams, the kind of vacation kids treasure for years. But as we all know, that kind of magic doesn’t come cheap.

So when this woman and her husband won a $3,000 travel voucher, they put it toward a trip with their two kids. It wasn’t enough to cover everything, though. That’s when Grandma stepped in and offered to pay the difference, on one condition: She’d come along. The couple said yes. They wanted their kids to have the experience, after all. But Mom had a nagging feeling she’d regret it. And, oh boy, was she right.

    I'd tell hubby, he's welcome to have a relationship with his mother, but it will be entirely without me or the children, because she'll never be seeing them again. EVER.
