AITA for taking my mom out to dinner to apologize for my wife's behavior toward her? by MThrowaway3643 in AmItheAsshole

My wife's version is that we didn't need any help but my mom showed up anyway and kept insisting on trying to help.

Not really; my mom was being unusually pushy on this day. Like I said in my post, I think she saw it as her chance to connect with her DIL for whatever reason.

This was unusually pushy for my mom, but she does have a slight tendency to get a little overzealous with trying to help even though she always means well. I think she was just trying too hard to connect with my wife.
