The real test came when they asked for the keys to a high-performance car, then upgraded their request to a classic convertible, as if the coast highway was a parade route and not a fire-ravaged stretch of asphalt. The refusal was met with the kind of disappointment usually reserved for missed opportunities at Disneyland. Offering a rental was treated like an insult, but the Camry was accepted with the grace of someone forced to eat salad at a steakhouse.

The next ten days are going to feel like an endurance challenge, with every interaction layered in passive-aggressive remarks and thinly veiled criticism. There’s no winning here. Every compromise is a loss, every small victory temporary. The parents aren’t looking for comfort. They’re looking for confirmation that their way is better, and every detail is a chance to prove it.

Midwest parents use a storm in their state as an excuse for a 10-day, all-expenses-covered VIP vacation at their child’s California place, demanding the master bedroom and access to prized cars
The parents rolled into town expecting a vacation with VIP treatment, and made it clear from the first nap in the master suite that the house rules were theirs to rewrite.
These parents decided that when life gives them lemons, they just throw them at their daughter and her boyfriend, so they make the lemonade. Preferably until both the lemons and the young couple are completely drained of juice and privacy, respectively.
There's a certain entitlement that comes with being a guest who doesn't actually want to be one. They arrived with opinions about the city, the food, and the sleeping arrangements, all delivered with the subtlety of a Midwest snowplow. The master bedroom was claimed before anyone could say no, and the guest room became a consolation prize after a polite eviction. Dinner was judged not by flavor but by proximity to fast food, and the rest of the evening was spent tuning out the running commentary on how much better things were back home.
