LESSON 1 --- MARRIED TO A MAMA'S BOY
Lesson1: MARRIED TO A MAMA'S BOY
I heard my husband talking on the phone this morning. He said, “Sure, Mom, it’s OK… it will be just fine… no problem for us.”
After he hung up, I asked him what that was all about, and he hit me with the news that it was his mom’s turn to have the annual family party at her house, but she had volunteered our house for the occasion. I got really upset because he didn’t even ask me- he just agreed to take it over without consulting me.
I know we will end up paying for all the food and drinks, and nobody in his family will offer to lend a hand in the work involved before, during or after the party. I flew off the handle and told him I would go away for the weekend and he could handle the whole thing himself.
He says I’m overreacting because I hate his family, which is not true. He’s got a couple of sister I’m not crazy about, but I don’t hate them. I guess I’m upset because he didn’t consult me before agreeing to have the party at our place.
