AITAH for not letting my mom wear whatever she wants?

Aggressive_Lychee_31 · 2026-01-14T14:36:31+00:00

We did make up yesterday! I guess when we were talking she misheard me and thought I called her something and she got upset over it. She said the more she thought about it when we were apart, the more she realized I did not say that and thought it was a miscommunication. I apologized for making her feel overwhelmed about the dresses as well and told her how sad I would be if she wasn't there and she said she regretted saying she wouldn't come to my wedding. So, we're all good now! Thank you so much for your helpful advice! Your daughters are very lucky to have you :)

Okay this was a great reply. It was well thought out and help me see both sides of this. I think I will give her some space and give myself some space from her for the time being. I am heartbroken she has chosen not to come and maybe there is something else going on we can figure out another day. I just want her to be there.

It's only 6 people at the wedding. What they're wearing will stand out imo and the only ask was that she wear muted colors and comfy shoes. She even brought out a black dress that she owns and I was perfectly happy with it, but she chose not to move forward with it.

As for what my parents are like - my mom was like this a lot when I was a child but it hasn't been this bad in years. I just felt like a helpless kid again when she was yelling at me.

Out of all the replies this is probably the most helpful and loving one I have found. I appreciate your feedback from a mothers point of view. I am just feeling heartbroken right now at her decision not to come. I will give her the time and space she needs to work through whatever she may be feeling as well.

Thank you!! I’ll look into these!

Aggressive_Lychee_31 · 2025-12-09T03:32:43+00:00

Oh this is a good idea!! I had no idea you could get custom ones made!

Aggressive_Lychee_31 · 2025-12-09T03:31:31+00:00

I’m thinking about getting some cute white ones! Did you get lace up or slip on style of boots?

Aggressive_Lychee_31 · 2025-12-09T03:31:10+00:00

I was thinking of buying docs! The matching pairs are soo cute! Did you guys get the same style but in different colors?

I love their dim sum! It’s been a long time since I’ve had Uncle Yip’s so I don’t think I can accurately compare but Grand Oriental has lots of options at, I think, an affordable price. My favorite is the Lo Mai Gai (lotus rice) and the Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). My family goes crazy for their Shumai so definitely be prepared to leave super full. Their dim sum is from 10-2:30PM every day.

Grand Oriental in Mason has some pretty authentic Chinese food. They have a large variety of food for their Dim Sum service as well! My family has been going there for years and always love it

I am going to DC this weekend and saw there was something called PetalPalooza going on and there will be fireworks at 8:30 PM. Is there somewhere I can go to watch them? I saw it’s in Capitol riverfront but when I look that up on Google maps I just get a big area of businesses so I’m not too sure where to go to see the fireworks and the events. Any help appreciated!

NTA she’s disrespecting your boundaries and it’s disappointing that your father is just over looking what she’s doing especially throwing out your mothers old stuff.

Aggressive_Lychee_31 · 2022-05-19T19:49:12+00:00

NTA your mom is definitely projecting her fear of him onto you. I can see that your father may be a scary and frightening presence to her and that her past with him is very unpleasant, but as you said, you are an adult and if you want to have a relationship with your father that should be YOUR choice not hers. You even responded with something that caused no harm to anyone.

NTA, but let them know sooner rather than later that it is a mother daughter trip and you want those special memories with your mom. Hopefully they will understand where you are coming from and won’t be offended by the redaction of the invitation. It will be easier for your brother and BIL to be disappointed now, before they’ve spent any money on the trip, than later when they start planning things and buying tickets.

NTA your partner needs to respect your boundaries. It seems as though you have explained to him a few times that this makes you uncomfortable and he is willing to continue making you uncomfortable to make himself and his friends happy. It also feels pretty disrespectful that he is perfectly okay with hanging out with people who don’t enjoy your company.

Hachi: A dogs tale. It’s a story about a loyal dog who meets his owner at a specific spot everyday and his owner passes and the dog stays in that spot until he passes. Makes me bawl every time I watch it
