In today's edition of #BadMomsClub, one mom is having some issues getting this message through to her very adamant son:
"Hey, Bad Moms Club,
Please help me explain to my 19-year-old son that it is not a good idea for his girlfriend to visit us for a few weeks during the holidays. I’ve tried to reason with him, but he just gets angry with me.
She lives in Cape Town and he is begging us to allow her to visit.
We have a second wave of the pandemic and I think it’s best they stay apart for a while.
How do I explain this to him?
Bad Moms Club, please help!" - Anon.
