[quote=Anonymous]My mom is very emotionally immature and had her latest guilt trip/tantrum against me recently. Her last complaint was that she’s very hurt that the whole summer went by and we never invited her and stepdad over to swim in our pool, knowing how much she loves the pool. She went as far as to say she is planning on putting in a pool in their next house if there isn’t one already so “we won’t have this problem anymore.”

This is completely ridiculous to me. I’ve been married over 20 years and have never invited any family over. Everyone just calls/texts us to see if we’re free on a certain date and w remake plans from there. Including my mom. She lives 2 hours away and the rest of my siblings and in-laws are 3-4 hours away so no one is dropping in but again, I don’t formally invite family over, that’s how it’s always been.

I know she was just trying to pick a fight with me and I ignored her complaint but it made me wonder - do other people invite family to visit, or is it just assumed they’re always welcome as long as you’re available?[/quote]
