It’s kind of a bummer when you already have a solid plan in place and then someone tries to mess it up, isn’t it?
This man shares how he has been planning a solo trip to their family’s sea house with many detours along the way, but then his mom wanted to go with him. He didn’t like that idea.
Find out how the story plays out.
I choose to organize a solo trip drive from my town to our family’s sea house.
Usually, it’s a 4h drive, but I decided I wanted to take many detours to test my recently bought car.
Making the drive around 8h long.
His mom wanted to come with him.
The day before leaving, my mom, who is also in love with our sea house, heard about my plans.
And decided she wanted to come, too.
The problem is she is the passenger-driver type of person, and going 1 km/h over the limit is a death penalty for her.
He prefers to drive alone.
I love being alone, and I like going to our second house because, in this period, the town is empty and quiet.
My mum also like the peace of this place, but she hates doing something that she doesn’t like.
And my drive would be restricted to going from A to B.
And I wouldn’t have the same degree of freedom that one gets when being home alone.
His mom got upset and called him a jerk.
So, I tried to tell her I’d rather go by myself.
And after a short talk, I left.
She didn’t look upset, but my sister said she called me a jerk a few times after I left.
AITA?
I can understand how the trip would be completely different with his mom in the car.
