Her Mom Gave Her Husband-To-Be A Cruel Wedding Gift So She Told Her She’s Not Coming To The Wedding Unless She Apologizes
A 25-year-old woman is going to be getting married in a month to her husband-to-be named Kevin. Kevin really does adore her family, and her family adores him right back, but there’s one enormous issue.
Her mom writes herself off as someone who is simply “brutally honest” but it’s far beyond just that.
Her mom basically never misses an opportunity to criticize the way others look or dress, or how much money they make.
Her mom never has a nice or tasteful thing to say about anyone, and she doesn’t want to do anything to change her behavior she claims it can’t be helped.
As soon as her mom was introduced to Kevin, she couldn’t keep her mouth shut and made remarks about what kind of a degree he has and what kind of car he drives.
She did her best to put her mom in her place with multiple talks, in an effort to have mom start respecting him.
Then, her mom started focusing on the fact that Kevin can’t really grow facial hair at all, which already was something that made Kevin feel bad about.
Obviously, her mom focusing on that really affected Kevin negatively and hurt his feelings.
Despite the fact that she told her mom it was hurtful of her, her mom claimed it was all in good fun and although she apologized, things did not change from there.

Recently, her mom announced that she got Kevin a wedding present to help make up for how she treated him, and she asked the whole family to come over for dinner the night she gave it to him.
Her mom passed Kevin the gift and said he had to open it in front of everyone.
“He opened the box and found a set of shaving tools with shaving cream,” this bride-to-be explained.
“Kevin stopped for a sec and kept staring at the gift. My stepdad took it and showed everyone then mom and others started laughing while stepdad kept saying “you get the joke Kev? You get it?”. And my brother running around the table laughing with everyone.”
Kevin ended up leaving his set from the table and exiting the house altogether. She was furious that her mom chose to further embarrass Kevin instead of making good on her apology, and with the whole family as an audience.
Her mom said she had to calm down because it was a joke, but she wouldn’t back down and ultimately laid down the law.
She yelled at her mom that if she would not apologize to Kevin, she would not be coming to the wedding.
Her mom says she is being dramatic, meanwhile, her brother can’t believe she actually will not be inviting her mom to the wedding.
“They think I’m unreasonable choosing this to be my hill to die on and called me disrespectful for how I treated my mom,” she concluded.
