M’sian Parents Insist on Following 37yo Daughter to ALL Staycations With Her BF, Netizens Say it’s Too Much

When you’ve been together long enough in a relationship, it can be fun and meaningful to bond with your partner’s family. But what happens when your partner’s parents tag along on each and every one of your vacations with your partner?

An anonymous Malaysian woman recently took to social media to vent her annoyance towards her parents, who will follow her whenever she’s away for a vacation with her boyfriend.

That may be common in some Asian households IF we’re talking about a pair of teenage couples.

But here’s the thing. The woman is 37 years old and she is dating a 40-year-old man. Both of them have been together for 4 years now.

The woman is also not happy about the curfew that she has to follow.

“I have to be back by 12am, if not 11pm everytime I am out dating.”

What about a vacation with her man? She’s not spared from her parents too when it comes to going on a staycation with her boyfriend as her parents are always present on the reason of “birth control”.  This made her ditch the thought to go overseas for a vacation, especially after her parents tagged along on their staycation locally before.

As for sleeping arrangements, it’s probably what you have in mind.

“I had to sleep with my mom, and he slept with my dad. He complained to me about my dad’s snoring”, said the poor lady.

She also admitted that in their 4 years of relationship, the couple has never slept on the same bed. This is really not an issue that you can handle easily, but what do the netizens think?

Anything can happen at anytime

Most of the netizens agreed that the parents have gone a little too far by being there on every occasion, and some also highlighted that “anything” can happen at any time.

“If you both want to ‘sleep’ together, you can do so during the daytime. Both of you are grown-ups, there is no reason for your parents to look after you 24/7.”

“Your parents have gone a little overboard. Do they actually like him? Are you planning to marry him? I feel like your parents are not confident about him. Try to communicate more with your parents, and ask them what they think about him.”

“Tell your parents, before you come back at 11 pm, you both dated in a hotel, or at his house. They’ll probably collapse.”

“They’re too naive. They think those stuff only happen in the middle of the night. It happens during the day too, and it’s settled within minutes.”

“I would’ve understood if you were 17, but you’re over 30!”

“Are the planning to live alone in the future? Ask them, if you both are not doing that thing, how are they even going to have grandkids?”

“I was shocked to see your age. You can make decisions for yourself, why are they interfering with your life decisions?”

Couples out there, how would you have handled this “privacy crisis”? Are you team yay or nay with having your partner’s parents on every vacation?
