Partner and mother

So…. I go on a number of holidays during the year just me and my partner - my mum, who is a very sprightly 70 something and a pensioner, and also most times has little self awareness, was invited to come with us for a holiday. My partner who, at times, can have narcissistic traits (as can my mum), has really struggled with her on our holiday (despite it being predominantly his idea). Getting very annoyed if she has tried to do things, making comments that she can’t hear, and generally being annoyed and disrespectful, and putting me in the middle all the time. I feel really angry at him but am I in the wrong?

Put it down as experience.
Dynamics change depending on who is going.

Next time book separate holidays (if you can afford it). One with your mum and a separate one with your partner.

Who invited her? Was it a joint decision?

Either way, tell your partner to grow up. That's your mom whether they like it or not.

Both of us ultimately invited her

Why are you with someone who shows all bad qualities that your mother house?
