[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think she's gonna be how she is, and there's nothing you can do. If it strikes a nerve, so be it. Aging parents are often defensive about how they raised their kids, and don't understand how social norms have changed. [b]I grew up middle class and didn't go on a lot of vacations either[/b], it just wasn't really a thing people did that much of.[/quote] I grew up UMC, my husband grew up MC. We went on tons of vacations, he went to the same place at the beach nearby every single year. His mom makes snide comments about our vacations now that we're UMC as well. I think she feels guilty/jealous. That's on her though, not on me. I just ignore/walk away. She's free to be miserable all by herself while we enjoy our vacations. [/quote]
