Ughhhhhhhh! I want to tear my hair out because of these parents!!! What is it with this obsession of keeping peace?? That's more important than teaching your kids right/wrong?!

"Keep the peace" is code for "It's easier on ME if you be the doormat rather than expecting me to show a little spine, so please just lie down right here..."

That was my thought. I knew instantly that the parents have never treated their children equally the moment they sided with the bridezilla. They're all immature, and that's devastating.

Whenever I hear someone saying that they should accede to some crazy demand, I think of Neville Chamberlain, who said, after giving in to Hitler's demands, that there would be "peace in our time". How'd that work out?

I don't know if my sister was my parents' favorite or it was that they were extremely conflict averse. She knew this and would launch into screaming hysterics when things didn't go her way. They would placate her and sometimes that meant asking me to give in on something because "you know what she's like". Unsurprisingly she mooched off them for years. My parents frequently offered to pay for various things for me because they felt bad that they were constantly helping her out, but I didn't need it. So it wasn't like they just gave her everything because she was The Golden Child and I was lesser. They were loving and supportive with me. They did her a disservice coddling her, because she didn't learn to stand on her own until after they died.

Oh, don't worry, it's hardly ever new to the lesser children. Usually it's clear much earlier.

Maybe the parents are paying for the wedding and that’s why they want it to go as smoothly as possible. So it doesn’t get even more expensive. If you live in California you don’t have to leave the country to go to Hawaii and while it is still very expensive it’s still cheaper to visit than many other tropical honeymoon destinations. Still, why doesn’t bride lady just go to another island? Hawaii has more than one and the smaller islands are not usually quite as crowded and are just as good.

Fr. It's re-traumatizing to constantly hear we need to "let it go" for the sake of the family's (apparently not us included) happiness/peace. Let what go? My mental health? My self worth? I just cut them all out this year after another refusal to acknowledge horrendous continued bullying from my sister and again hearing "well, you were both wrong" "Both have been unkind"....THAT DOSEN'T F*UCKING APPLY MOTHER When I've done something s****y 3% of the time and she's doing it 97% of the time. I set boundaries and they straight set up "retaliatory boundaries" if you know what I mean. Blah, I'm done. I need to be healthy instead.

This of course is why she is a selfish entitled brat, because the parents have no backbone

This is straight facts

Mike, great work. I appreciate your work since I presently make more than $36,000 a month from one straightforward internet business! I am aware that you are now making a good living online starting sb-05 with merely $29,000, and they are simple internet operational chores. Just click the link————>>> 𝗪𝘄𝘄.𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Yes. And they're from California. Hawaii is a massively popular destination in the Western states because it's not that long of a flight. Most people I know that have the discretionary income to travel have been there multiple times.

I thought the same thing. How ridiculously entitled

How about this, tell her fine, she can have the tropical island. You'll take Venice, Florence, Paris, and every other romantic city on the planet. Over time, of course. Give it 2-3years between to save for the next. Be petty. Block every possible 1-up anniversary. Because she HAD to have the tropical island honeymoon.
