You know, my mates parents really worked their socks off to give him a good life. They made sure he had everything he needed and supported him at every turn. His mum always felt he deserved a proper start, so after he finished school, they got him a car, and when he started at university, they sorted him a nice flat to live in. Hes always been a responsible bloke, listened to his parents advice, and kept them in the loop about what was going on in his life.
Still, his mum started fretting when he hit 27 and hadnt shown any interest in settling down yet. Even though hed dated girls before, his mum wanted to see him with someone steady. Shed picture him as a groom, and even thought about treating the newlyweds to a trip. But she had no idea that meeting his future wife would really shake up the familys plans.
His mum began noticing he was glued to his phone, making more of an effort with his clothes, and heading out on dates. She was thrilled, thinking her son was finally considering starting a family.
One day, he told her he was going to introduce them to his fiancée, the woman he planned to marry. His mum, Margaret, was over the moon and assumed shed get along brilliantly with her future daughter-in-law. But their jaws hit the floor when, instead of a young lady, they were introduced to a 38-year-old woman with two kids hanging onto her. Her son was only 27.
His parents were livid and made it clear they didnt approve of the relationship. They told him if he was really going to marry her, hed have to hand over the keys to his flat and car. He agreed and said hed manage things on his own. After that, he cut off all contact with his parents, blocked them everywhere, and stopped texting or calling. Margaret heard about her sons struggles through relatives and hoped hed soon realise how tough things were and decide not to stay with this woman.
