Divorce is never easy – especially when children are involved.
Things get even more complicated when one partner finds a new love – and even more complicated when, for example, an ex-husband finds himself a significantly younger new wife.
So when Jennifer, whose parents were divorced, was preparing for her wedding, she knew things could get complicated: Her dad had recently found himself a new young wife – just around Jennifer’s own age. And as if that were not enough, her new stepmom had it out to make life more difficult for her biological mother.
But it turns out Jennifer’s mom can really hold her own… When I read Jennifer’s mom’s revenge – I was on the floor! It was so good I just had to pass it on – feel free to do the same if this gives you a good laugh.
With Jennifer’s wedding day got closer, nothing could make the excited bride lose momentum. Not even her parents’ divorce. Although it had often been a source of stress for the young woman, she was able to put it out of her mind and just focus on her big day.
Jennifer’s mom had found the perfect dress and would look like a beautiful mother-of-the-bride on her daughter’s big day. Everything was going to well.
But just one week later, Jennifer discovered that her father’s 25-year-old wife had bought the exact same dress as her mom…
Obviously this was not okay. So she asked her stepmom to return the dress and get another one since her mom had it first. But the young wife refused.
“No way! I look amazing in this dress, and I’m wearing it,” she replied. “Your mother will have to change hers.”
Jennifer broke the bad news to her mother and expected the woman to be heartbroken. But the mature matron took the news surprisingly well. Jennifer was shocked.
“Don’t worry, darling. I’ll just find a new dress. It’s your special day and I will not less this get in the way.”
Just a few days later, they went shopping to find another beautiful dress. They had a great time together and her mom tried on almost a dozen more dresses. Then just before the store closed, she found the perfect replacement.
The mother-of-the-bride bought the dress and then the two went out to dinner.
While they were waiting for the entrees, Jennifer asked her mom, “When do you think you’ll return the other dress? You don’t really have another reason to wear it anytime soon.”
The bride’s mother smiles her big smile. Then she said:
“Of course I do! I’m going to wear it for the rehearsal dinner the night before your wedding.”
Jennifer couldn’t help but laugh at her mother’s perfect revenge. If the young stepmother hadn’t tried to meddle in their family affairs, she could have been saved from an even worse embarrassment.
That’s what happens when you mess with the wrong mother ?
