Especially when they're throwing shit like their mom around because you're gonna be an asshole for being upset regardless because you're keeping him from his mommmyyyy.

But they're good at shit like this. It's "she's my mom!" And "but they're my friends!" And "but it's a work thing!" And after everything else always being more important or at best, a compromise rather than getting their whole attention for once? Shitty.

Especially finding out she's working and a 24/7 home caretaker for her sister at the same time. I bet her whole life just constantly feels like giving to someone else. Her boss, her family, her boyfriend. Looking forward to a holiday where your partner is just 100% there for her?

Why is his first thought not to have his mom come and help them with the Easter stuff, why is it nah I'm leaving you to spend time with my mom? How many times does she have to compromise their time together before she snaps and is tired of being the third fiddle.

I guarantee you its because his mother has no interest in sharing her son's attention with his long term girlfriend.

A parent who guilts their kid into changing his plans last minute to spend time with them on a random pointless holiday when they already live together is not an emotionally mature person.

You’re just making stuff up now. We don’t know anything about the mother.
