Woman Planned a Family Vacation, but Is Having Second Thoughts After Her 23-Year-Old Son Invited His ‘Older' Partner
A woman is no longer excited for a family vacation after finding out her son wants to bring his "older" partner and the partner's nine-year-old child The woman says her son, 23, has been dating his girlfriend for about a year and claims she is 'very controlling' The mom shared her story on a popular community forum to get advice about how she should handle the awkward situationA mom says she is no longer excited for a family vacation after finding out that her son wants to bring his "older" partner and the partner's child. The woman detailed her experience on the 'Am I Being Unreasonable?' forum on the U.K.-based community site a place where women can go to seek input and advice from other women. In her post, the woman shares that she and her husband have three children — two teens and a 23-year-old son — and that they are currently planning a vacation for next Easter in a cosmopolitan city. She says that she was 'really looking forward to' the trip — until she found out that her 23-year-old son wants to bring his partner of about a year along with her nine-year-old child. The original poster (OP) goes on to explain that her son's partner is 'very controlling.' She also says that while the partner's child is a 'sweet kid,' they are also non-verbal and have a number of behavioral issues that are 'generally very tiring.' 'We've only spent a day with [the child] before, and we were all shattered afterwards,' she says. The OP says that while her son doesn't seem to think that bringing his partner and the child on their family vacation is a 'big ask,' the rest of the family is not especially thrilled with the prospect, noting that it will 'change the whole holiday.' 'AIBU [am I being unreasonable]?' the OP asks at the end of her post. Opinions were mixed over whether or not the OP's feelings are valid. One person said they thought excluding a grown child's significant other — especially when the couple will have been dating for nearly two years — is the wrong move. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! "It'd be pretty s----- to exclude a partner of nearly two years,' they said, adding, '[And] with a child with [special needs], babysitting options are very limited, so by excluding her child you would be excluding her.' 'I would tend to agree that if someone's been with your [son] for two years (by that point) that a 'family' holiday includes them,' said someone else. 'You're talking almost a year from now. If you'd include a nine-year-old without additional needs after two years in your family then not including them [instead of] adapting to fit around them, is a bit of a d--- move tbh [to be honest].' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Other people, however, said they thought the OP's feelings were completely valid, and noted that bringing a child on a vacation that is otherwise geared for teens and adults, is not ideal, whether the child has special needs or not. 'I think it's reasonable to say that everyone's expectations of this particular holiday are grown-up things, but you can look at going away all together in the future,' one person suggested, adding, 'And then evaluate if you want to at that point if they are still together.' Another person said, 'You could be completely honest with your [son] and tell him that you think it will change the whole nature of the holiday, that the nine-year-old is going to be bored doing the things that everyone else wants to do and that you don't really want to do anything that would appeal to a nine-year-old.' They added, 'Depending on his response, it might be a perfect opportunity to ask him whether he's worried about how [his partner is] going to react to being told 'no' and if he wants to talk to you about it.'

Miley Cyrus speaks out about dad Billy Ray's romance with Elizabeth Hurley
Miley Cyrus is sharing her thoughts on her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus ' new relationship and reflecting on how their own bond has evolved. In a new interview with The New York Times published Saturday, the Grammy winner spoke candidly about Billy Ray's romance with actress Elizabeth Hurley, as well as her mom Tish Cyrus' marriage to actor Dominic Purcell. "Now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too -- I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing," Miley told the outlet. "I'm being an adult about it." She continued, "At first it's hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.' My child self has caught up." Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, who tied the knot in 1993, divorced in 2022 after nearly 30 years of marriage. They share three children -- Miley, Braison, and Noah -- and Billy Ray also adopted Tish's two older children, Brandi and Trace. Billy Ray went public with his relationship with Hurley on Easter Sunday. Their debut as a couple came just months after he finalized his divorce from his second wife, Firerose, in August 2024, according to People. In her New York Times interview, Miley also addressed longstanding speculation about her relationship with her father. When asked if they were estranged, she simply replied, "No." "I think timing is everything," she explained. "As I've gotten older, I'm respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents -- because my mom really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard. And so I think I took on some of my mom's hurt as my own because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain." Her comments followed a rare family photo that Billy Ray shared earlier this month, showing the family reunited to celebrate Braison's 31st birthday -- a moment that came after months of rumors about a rift between the father and daughter. Miley also directly addressed those rumors in a statement shared to her Instagram stories on May 10. "My dad and I have had our challenges over the years," she wrote at the time, per E! News. "Now, in my thirties, family is my priority above all else. I'm at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing. Grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family." Billy Ray echoed those sentiments in his own Mother's Day post on Instagram, praising his daughter and the progress they've made. "I'm so proud of Miley and her guts and her courage... her wisdom and strength to bring it when our family needed it most," he wrote. "We are so close to a full healing."

Women Who Were Nannies For Wealthy Families Are Exposing Secrets About What The Job Is Really Like, And This Career Path Is Not For The Weak
Being a nanny definitely comes with its challenges. In fact, some have publicly shared the unbelievable texts they get from parents just to spread awareness: However, when it comes to nannying for extremely wealthy families, you may encounter a whole new set of obstacles. Here are some of the surprising things current and former nannies on Reddit have to say about it: 1."$100,000+ a year is a standard full-time nanny rate because you're working about 75 hours a week." —u/stephelan 2."While they are otherwise very reasonable people, on food delivery night, if the kids can't agree on where to order from, they all order from separate restaurants. With the seamless fees the way they are right now, and tips, that's easily an extra $50 or more vs. them ordering from one restaurant." —u/ssseltzer 3."They'll often get amazing packages that they won't open for WEEKS. And they have a room just for all the gifts they receive for any occasion. They will slowly go through all the gifts throughout the year. A lot of them get donated without the kids even opening them, most of which are personalized specially for the kid. They'll have someone come to decorate their inside Christmas tree and then come back and take it all down. Someone comes to hide their Easter eggs, too. They also have outdoor heated flooring all over their yard. I was so impressed with this, lol." —u/Lalablacksheep646 4."Obviously, the pay and benefits can be awesome, but I've noticed I'm expected to basically parent the child rather than being a supplemental caregiver. The family I work for is so wealthy that they can afford around-the-clock care, even when BOTH parents are home/not working. The mom does not work, and the dad has a very flexible schedule. They genuinely would just prefer to pay someone to be the primary caregiver. For that reason, it can be really emotionally draining. I'm expected to talk about body changes, needing deodorant, body confidence, etc. I think back on my own childhood, and having my mom talk to me about these life experiences was so impactful and strengthened our bond..." "It's a complicated issue because I love the family and the job. I know the parents are grateful for me, but I can't help thinking the kids would be better off if they had a deeper, more connected relationship with their parents, even if that meant fewer hours and less money for me in the long run. I have another family I work with who are more 'upper middle class' and both have full-time jobs. When they come home, they want nothing more than to spend time with their kids since they haven't seen them all day. I cannot say the same is true for the ultra rich family I mentioned above." —u/popkiwibanana "I have found that working for the ultra wealthy is decidedly not for me. It seems great up pay! Benefits! Travel! But I found that the wealthier they are, the more out of touch they are. It made me realize how much normal stuff I took for granted working in middle-class homes, including how they relate to their children. The wealthy I worked for often seem to have families for appearances, but never want to develop relationships with them. We simply had different values. Sometimes it depends on how the wealth was acquired (for example, working for celebrities differs from finance). Once people haven't heard 'no' for a while, have a full household staff, fly private, etc., they seem to have ridiculous expectations over the stupidest things." —u/singoneiknow 5."The amount of clothing. OMG. I'm contracted to also do cleaning/organizing after bedtime since I'm a night nanny. Every week, the mom purchases the equivalent of a new wardrobe for herself and her daughters. I am tasked with making this all fit in their respective closets. Everything is overflowing. Everyone's closets are FULL of clothing with the tags still on. They order catering-sized meals from restaurants and eat those throughout the week. Also, they have huge amounts of snacks. I organize and stock the pantry. That shit will be FULL and the mom will still walk in with another Costco order. They leave the country a lot. They have season passes to Disney. We live in Michigan." —u/dammitbarbara 6."Broken dishwasher? No problem…just use all paper products for the week! Who could imagine handwashing dishes? Kids need to do something difficult? Take them to Target after as a reward. Every time. Even if it's a $50 toy, at least there's no meltdown! The food not even the money so much as it is the principle. Truly heartbreaking to see so much food bought, and thrown away." —u/Sea_Contest_4424 7."The family I work for did a complete garage remodel, and while I was going through stuff to put away, I found the equivalent of a thousand dollars worth of Tiffany's baby stuff. Apparently the dad was supposed to send that gift to his best friend's first kid in 2017." —u/nanny1128 8."Every year, the family I work for goes to a beach destination for rich people, and they rent a whole beach villa. One year the mom was sitting with me feeding her kid breakfast, and she mentioned that the villa was really crappy compared to last year. I was like, 'Yeah, you are so right! This one has a horrible view of the ocean! And the decor is really outdated.' And she was like, 'Right??!!' Then later, I was thinking to myself, baby girl, you will never in your life be able to afford to even spend one night in this house on your own. What the actual hell. It's easy to get used to things and take them for granted." —u/Anxious_Host2738 9."They have no concept of what anything really costs. The dad I nanny for handed me $50 for a cheap salad I got him for lunch one day." —u/jeezjulia 10."The mom I nanny for has EVERYTHING I wonder if they ever go in person to the store. I understand delivery every once in a while, but they get bags and bags of groceries and boxes from department stores every day. I just can't imagine not going shopping for my own stuff, nor can I imagine the expenses of all these services. Same with the vacations they take." —u/nps2790 11."I work for a middling-wealthy family, have been for two years. The kids have no concept of how much money their parents have. The younger one doesn't realize why it's inappropriate to joke about how much money she has stashed away for 'chores.' She doesn't realize that it's more than I earn in weeks, and that she didn't actually earn it." —u/847362na 12."I do tutoring for a wealthy family, and despite the fact that they seem to have come from fairly average backgrounds, they really have no concept of how normal people think about money. I was talking about visiting the library, and they were confused by the fact that I didn't just buy all the books I wanted to read. They also pay me every six months or so, and seem confused that I want money more often. They fly their kids home from their high school sports tours (they play in tournaments all over the continent) and think nothing of it." —u/Alsadius 13."The drama is just like TV. The dad in the family I nannied for had a secret daughter and another family for five years. Money was just thrown around. A $500 rocking chair is the wrong shade of orange? Just throw it in the garbage and go buy a new one. Daughters are fighting with each other over their Barbie dream houses? Calm them down by taking them to the American Girl store for new dolls, and then get them a blowout afterwards." —u/pinkpanda24 14."I see cool gadgets in their home, and I always look them up to see if I can get one, but they're usually unreleased and just teased online. I'm so confused how they have stuff not even out on the market yet 😩." —u/birtheducator younger sister nannies for a wealthy couple, and she's mentioned a few things that really threw her off at first. The biggest thing was how uninvolved they are with their daughter's life. She was born early in October, and by the end of the month, my sister was already spending 80+ hours a week with her. The husband has only been home one day since she started working for them, and the wife is gone from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. They've offered to pay for work on her car countless times, and the wife gave my sister all of her Christmas decorations from last year. Most of them still had their tags on them. She spent $20 per ornament and didn't even use them." —u/IslandoftheMoths 16."My days consist of trying to keep the rich kids I nanny out of the 10-foot fountain in their entryway 🫠." —u/PartyOkra7994 17."A good friend of mine is a nanny for a very wealthy couple. He is the source of the wealth, which is largely inherited. He has a job, but it's the kind of job where he never has to show up or do much work at all, and it pays him hundreds of thousands a year. Every day, the wife goes to her job and the husband goes to his floor of the house where nobody is allowed to bother him. He spends the day smoking pot and lazing about like he's Jeff Lebowski. That's it. That's all he does. But he doesn't want his kids bothering him, so he locks himself away and pays my friend to raise his kids for him. My friend likes her job, but I'll never be able to have much respect for a dude who has all the time and money in the world and he uses it to sequester himself away from his own kids and watch movies all day." —u/MidasVirago Have you ever been a nanny — or are you currently one — for a wealthy family?
