Plus: My son’s wife mentioned ‘mayhem’ and we think she’s discouraging our visit.
Advice |It was to be a big formal church wedding with eight or nine bridesmaids and groomsmen, flower girl and ring bearer, followed by a reception.
This recent notification regarding their wedding ceremony means that they are likely shuffling numbers for the reception. There are a number of reasons why a couple might choose to change their ceremony plans at this late stage; you need to respectfully accept whatever explanation they supply for this change.: Our son’s in-laws, who live in Europe, have repeatedly invited us to stay at their house, including over the upcoming holidays.Then I got a text from my daughter-in-law with an Airbnb listing where she said we could stay to be “away from the mayhem.
Because the property she recommended is booked, you could circle back to your DIL and note: “We totally understand about mayhem. It sounds as if you think it would be best if we didn’t accept your parents’ invitation to stay with them. The property you linked to is already booked, but we note a few others nearby. Do you have thoughts about any of those properties?”Personally, I feel that in the case of sexual harassment women should not be afraid to “rock the boat.
It is always a power game. Predators look for weakness and embarrassment. They count on women not calling them out.
