'He’s a proper mummy’s boy, I want him to just grow up': Dad upsets son after siding with his ex-GF

Parents, would you ever side with your child's partner over your actual child? One dad was put in that predicament himself, and went to r/AmItheA**hole asking for advice.

U/inappropriatedress77 explained that his kid had been dating a woman for about two years, but the relationship was long-distance. Although the family loved when the GF visited, her BF would never fly to see her. He claimed it was because he was scared of flying because he's never done it. As a father, u/inappropriatedress77 believed this was the time to dole out some parental advice.

Commenters had mixed opinions, but most said dad was not the a**hole here. Perhaps the commenters claiming "everyone sucks here" have the right idea though – dad could have been much nicer in delivering his message to his son.

Up next, this guy allowed his best friend to hold her wedding at his home, but then her fiancé suddenly asked for an insane request.
