My in-laws are down in Orlando, so I only see them a few times a year. But my mom, dad, stepmom, and stepdad all live within 4 miles of my wife and me. My mom, bless her heart, is a little nuts. She's just very hyper, and she ADORES my wife (the daughter she never had kind of thing). She's always asking us to come over and do this or that, or meet her out to do this and that...

Sometimes you just have to say no. My wife and I are both really focused on our careers right now and working a lot, so we don't have much free time together. I sure don't want to spend the bulk of it hanging out with my Mom. Going over for dinner a few times a month is fine, but sometimes she's just over the top with all her requests.

You could easily just tell your Mom that you and the wife need some time just the two of you, and that you can't accommodate her request this time. Like you said, it's totally reasonable that they split the parking. I don't think that's a big "FU" to your Mom as you said. I mean, if your Mom was disabled or something, then that's different.

Anyway man, it will all work out. You'll be having sexicans again before you know it.

Newlywed,

Oh grasshopper much to learn.
