I know this is irrational but I can't talk myself round. Please help.
I'm taking my child on holiday on Monday with a friend and her children, much to my elderly mum's disapproval. She says we are being irresponsible, that the flight won't be good for the children, that we will catch and/or spread covid. She's even told me I'm wasting money and when gas priced go up I'll wish I hadn't wasted this money. But I can't get a refund anyway.
She didn't used to be like this. In the last few years she has stopped going anywhere due to being CEV, but I know she would have definitely taken me in a similar trip when I was growing up, given the opportunity
It's our first holiday in years. DH can't go due to work.
DC can't wait. But I feel sick. Every time I think about going I'm worried she will send me horrible texts while I'm away, telling me I'm a bad mum for going.
Why do I feel like this and why can't I just pull my big girl pants up and not care what she says?
