My entitled mother organized me and my boyfriend's vacation without our permission,

0:05.0

booking us two nights at a five-star hotel for hundreds of dollars that we definitely do not have,

0:10.4

and now she's demanding that we pay her back for the hotel that we never asked for.

0:15.0

And now I seriously don't know what to do.

0:17.3

Here's what happened. So my boyfriend and I had been planning to go on a vacation this summer

0:22.0

for my birthday. He has been studying. So meanwhile, I was in charge of looking for affordable

0:27.2

places to stay for a few nights. Maybe even a week, I asked my mom to help me with the booking

0:32.4

since she knows a lot of affordable places. The problem takes place a few days later,

0:37.2

where she paid for a booking for two nights in a five-star hotel that cannot be canceled,

0:42.6

without telling me or my boyfriend about it beforehand, and expects us to repay her.

The price is about $350, and she told us she's helping us with approximately $100,

1:13.2

but we still have to pay her for $250. While I understand she wanted to have a nice detail,

1:19.1

we are spending our money for a plan that she liked and a plan that she did not discuss with us,

1:24.6

so it now feels like her vacation and not ours. Her actions don't make any sense,

1:29.4

and they seem disrespectful to my boyfriend and myself. I don't understand the purpose for all this.

1:34.6

I will give her the benefit of the doubt, and assume that she lightheartedly wanted us to have

1:38.9

a nice vacation, but I'm still very mad we didn't get to choose, and on top of that we have to

1:44.3

pay her. Last night, I asked her where I could get the money from, and she told me that I should save
