Weddings are supposed to be a special event for families to celebrate the joyouscouple.
The problem is that not all family members are supportive.
Sometimes, they can be selfish and place their own needs above those of the bride and groom.
This is exactly what happened to a woman on herweddingday.
The worst part is that her self-centered mom blamed her for everything that went wrong.
Unfortunately, this woman got more than she bargained for.
Her mother had driven 20 hours to be at her wedding.
Around noon, the mom, grandma, and a familyfriendwent back to their hotel to get ready.
To understand why the family would do that,Bored Pandareached out toDr.
Yana Sirotkin, an applied developmental psychologist, researcher, and parenting expert.
She has been working with parents and children for more than 15 years.
Imagine the brides confusion and worry as the ceremony drew nearer and her family was nowhere in sight.
This key in of behavior is not permissible at all.
When her family finally showed up, her mom was quite hostile.
The mother made many excuses and even tried toblamethe OP.
The poster later found out that because her mom didnt get ready fast enough, everyone got held up.
Dr. Yana explained what the bride could have done in such a situation.
It is important not to come from an accusatory standpoint and avoid you statements.
Instead, use I statements, for example, I felt stressed out when the ceremony was being delayed.
It makes me feel much better when everything is done on time.
It will not be an easy conversation.
Dr. Sirotkin also stated that it is important to remain flexible in setting our boundaries, especially with parents.
