Today, while planning for our trip next spring, my friend told me that she's decided that her mom is coming with us. It’s non-negotiable. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother told me that I could take a friend on vacation with us. Then she added that because I have no friends, my brother can bring his girlfriend instead. FML
Today, my fiancé suggested we bring his elderly mother with us on our honeymoon. FML
Today, I was helping my mom pack for our family vacation. We were both talking about how excited we were, when she turned to me and said, "Would you be offended if I asked you not to come? It's just… I want to have fun." FML
Today, my mom booked a family trip to Sweden. This would be great, if she hadn't asked me to tell our former German exchange student that we were coming to visit her in Germany. She was thrilled. Now I have to be the one to let her down. FML
Today, a friend is refusing to pay her final portion on the vacation we’ve been planning for over a year. She's met a new guy and he’s uncomfortable with her going on a girls' trip. We’ve been planning this trip longer than she’s known him and it’s too close to the date for us to get a full refund. FML
Today, as planned, my dad confirmed that he would be flying up to visit me for the weekend. Not planned, however, was that my whiny and high-maintenance sister invited herself along too. There's no way I can dis-invite her without offending my dad. FML
Today, I was asking my husband to help me finalize plans for our upcoming vacation. He, however, would rather pout and sulk because I don’t want him to bring his mom along. She’s been with us on our last few trips and it’s hard to get any alone time. I’m considering just going alone at this point. FML
Today, my mom told me the night before our school trip that I’m not going so she could get a refund. Now I have to stay alone with my mom for a week, while my friends are having the time of their life in NYC. FML
Today, my soon-to-be mother-in-law decided that she is going to be in charge of planning my wedding. All decisions must be approved by her, and anything she doesn't like will be thrown out. She also wants to go on our honeymoon with us to make sure I don't "defile" her son. FML
Today, my sister and I were planning a trip to get away from things and visit some faraway friends. My dad then decided to insert himself into our plans. He got mad when we said no, and couldn't understand why we wanted to go by ourselves. FML

Of course it’s negotiable. Your counter-offer is “No ******* way!”

Repeat after me: "then you are not coming."

At least you get to go on trips. You can always chose to not go with your friend and her mom. Some people would just be happy being able to go.

your misunderstanding it. her and her friend already booked a holiday together without one friends mum. now the mother wants to come and the mothers dsughter is saying its non negotiable. i wouldnt be happy if my mates mother was going to come on a holiday with my and my mate after we planned n booked it together.

I am not misunderstanding anything. You know how many people would be happy to just be able to go on vacation? Most people are too busy trying to feed themselves and their kids. Oh no, her friend wants her mom to go. Tell her friend no, don't go, go alone, or just suck it up and be happy you are getting a vacation. Wow, so hard.

Of course it's negotiable. Mom comes, you stay. Mom can have your ticket and you spend quality time alone.
