Every year, my parents visit us for a month. This time, my husband, Noah, wanted a break (they never liked him). When I told them we can’t host, my mom snapped, “You chose him over your family!”

But later, I was shocked to find out that they had been secretly keeping information from me. 3 days earlier, my parents had already planned to stay with my brother, before I even told them we wouldn’t be hosting. They had booked their tickets and everything. But when I called, they didn’t mention any of this. That’s when I realized they were just trying to guilt-trip me, even though it was pointless since they were going to stay with my brother anyway.

They’ve been telling me how “disappointed” they are, but the truth is, they never even intended to stay with us. They wanted to make me feel guilty for prioritizing my husband over them, so when I refused, they could point fingers and say, “She wouldn’t even let us come.”

Now they’re not speaking to me, and I feel totally betrayed. I wanted to make sure Noah had the break he needed, but I didn’t expect to be manipulated like this.

So, am I wrong for refusing to let my parents stay with us, especially after finding out they never intended to respect my decision in the first place?
