Some parents think they can insert themselves into everything, but when you're an adult making your own decisions, there is only so much they can do. Many of us have grown up developing a fear of disappointing our parents. It's something that will inevitably happen, and ideally, something you don't want to happen all too often. Of course, in a perfect world, everything you do will make them proud. 

When you become an adult, you might be hoping for those fears to go away, but unfortunately, they never do. In fact, you might find yourself making certain life choices based on what your parents may think or want, and that can cause more damage than if you followed your own gut instincts. When it comes to choosing your career or a significant other or how you want your wedding to be, you might find yourself trying to please a parent more than you're actually trying to please yourself. It's only a matter of time before dynamics like this start to unravel, and it's usually during the biggest events.

For this author, that inevitable moment when all the tension rises to the surface finally happened, unsurprisingly, during wedding planning.

  • The fact that this woman's entitled mother had the audacity to call her choice of venue “low class” just because it was outside shows just how backwards her thinking was. Well, guess what? This lady isn't even contributing a cent to the wedding, so it's not like she really has a say in the end now, does she?!

    1 27F am getting married next month to my amazing fiancé 29M. We have been planning this for almost a year. My mom however has had a problem with every single decision I have made. First, she didn't like the dress because it "wasn't traditional enough." Then she complained about the guest list

    because I didn't invite her cousin who I literally haven't seen in 15 years. But the final straw came last week. We chose a beautiful outdoor venue at a garden estate. It's peaceful, elegant, and very us.

    When I told my mom, she lost it. "You're seriously going to make people sit outside like they're in a field? That's so low-class. I'm embarrassed for you."

    I calmly explained that it's what i and my fiancee want, and that we are covering the cost. Her response?

    "Then I won't come. And neither will anyone from our family. In fact, if you don't change it, I think you should just cancel the whole wedding. It's already a mess."

    She has been telling relatives that I'm disrespecting her as my mother. A few of them are actually taking her side.

    I'm honestly heartbroken but also exhausted. I'm starting to realize this day might not be about making her happy and that's okay.

    I'm sorry that she is involving your family like this. Hopefully you can find a resolution, or peace with a lower contact relationship.

    midwest73 • 1h ago Your wedding, not hers and her family. Do how you two want it done. Uninvite her and any people that agree. If they have security, explicitly have it stated they are not allowed. After that, enjoy your new life and walk away from your Mom's life.

    No-Passenger1983 · 1h ago . I am not sure this will help you but I am a 69 year old woman that has always adhered to the philosophy that I can't control other people's actions but I can control my reaction to them.

    This is an attempt for control by assuming you would rather adhere to her demands than chance not having her there. Call her bluff! Calmly tell her that although you would be disappointed if she chose

    not to come it is ultimately her choice. In the long run if she chooses not to come then it would indicate it is more about the control than being there for her daughter

    and you might have to reevaluate that relationship in the future. I hope you have a nice wedding and don't let anyone change your dream not even your mother
