My in-laws requested our luxury property, turning our Bora Bora honeymoon into a power struggle. Once my husband let me handle them, I made sure they got what they deserved.
My folks were thrilled when we told them. They were always humble, easygoing, and never anticipated luxury.
We vacationed with road trips, cheap motels, and beach picnics as kids.
So when Mark and I invited them on this lavish vacation, they were shocked.
My mom cried, while my dad kept shaking his head, “Are you sure this isn’t too much?” Many thanked us, calling it the trip of a lifetime.
However, Mark’s parents were tougher to satisfy.
Before we scheduled the vacation, I saw how much Mark’s parents controlled him. Going was initially slated for late May. After Mark told his mom, she immediately rejected it.
