A mother found herself in a difficult situation when she refused to pay for her son's girlfriend during a family vacation. On Tuesday, December 17th, she took to Reddit to seek advice as her son and his girlfriend were extremely angry with her. She has two sons, aged 22 and 23, both with serious girlfriends they have been dating for over two years. Jordan's girlfriend is an outstanding young woman - kind, smart, polite, good to her parents, responsible, and a perfect match for her son. They form a great team. However, her other son Tyler's girlfriend has opposite traits - selfish, entitled, manipulative, and dislikes the family. She even scares others with her behaviors.

Family Dynamics and Travel History

The mother emphasized that she and her sons are very close and have always traveled together. Jordan's girlfriend has been on two trips paid for by the mother - a trip to Vegas for Jordan's 21st and a charity boat poker run on Lake Michigan, both involving bars. Tyler's girlfriend, who is 20, was not invited as she was not of age. Her husband had planned a guys' trip, which made Tyler's girlfriend angry as she wanted to use the vacation home the same week before returning to college.

Christmas Vacation and the Ultimatum

This year, the family was planning a vacation to the Bahamas for Christmas. But after Tyler's ultimatum that his girlfriend would be invited on all trips and the mother would be expected to pay for her or he wouldn't come, the mother chose to cancel the trip rather than invite the couple. She claims this is in line with Jordan's request. Instead, she and her husband upgraded to first class and a suite. Jordan thought the trip would be miserable with Tyler's girlfriend, and he wanted his mother to enjoy the trip. Tyler and his girlfriend are now furious.

Public Opinion and Different Perspectives

Responding in the comment section, many Redditors seemed to support the mother. One person said, "She's not even family yet, and she's already acting like this? LOL. You're not obligated to fund her vacations, especially when she's being so disrespectful to you and your husband." Another added, "Your house, your rules, your money. Tyler's gf sounds like a walking red flag." However, others were undecided and believed alienating the couple is not a good long-term solution. One commenter wrote, "OP has to decide if she wants to be right or if she wants to be happy. If she invites everyone and sets boundaries and doesn't react, Tyler will see how awful [the girlfriend] is. If they are excluded because [the girlfriend] sucks, he will come to her defense and only see her good qualities."After reading the mom's account, one user requested the other side of the story. The commenter said, "I don't think it's possible to make a judgment without getting a third party perspective. Let me tell you why. You talk about your son's girlfriend the same way my mom talks about my sister-in-law. You would think she is the devil herself listening to my mom. Except she's not at all. My mom decided very early she didn't like her so now everything she does is wrong. And not just wrong, but also done intentionally."
