And to clarify, she was not upset about her lack of an invitation at all.
Instead, the woman is vehemently against sending her daughter, who is terminally ill and not even three years old yet, on vacation across the country for an entire week without her parents.
So, the woman’s only suggested compromise was that she and her husband both accompany their daughter but for a shorter amount of time.
“That way, our daughter is comfortable and, for god sakes, in the event she dies? She cannot be gone for a week. Her nurses are here. Her care is here,” she said.
However, after suggesting the solution to her mother-in-law, the woman was completely turned down.
And she became infuriated.
The woman told her mother-in-law that she should have never made travel decisions and arrangements involving her daughter without consulting her and her husband first.
The mother-in-law then had the nerve to call the woman a few choice names and even threatened to fight for parental rights before the daughter passes away.
Now, the woman is being put in an impossible position with so much already on her plate.
“I am already grieving,” the woman added. “My husband said we should acquiesce to his mother’s trip just to avoid drama, even though he agrees our daughter is too young.”
“But, I want to spend time with her before the cancer takes her. I said no for various reasons, not just to say no.”
