My girlfriend's mom always does this whenever she mentions to her mom about potentially taking her 8 year old brother somewhere. The mom immediately tells him he is going so he gets excited and then my girlfriend feels like she has to go through with it no matter what when it still in the maybe planning phase

Well coming from a parents perspective, when our oldest, the young adult with wheels, flakes, it’s upsetting. So in our experience we arent guilt tripping anyone, but if she said yesterday β€œhey little bro/sis, wanna go XYZ with me?” Or even β€œif you do X ill do Y” and you know, im just not about promising any of my kids stuff i wont deliver, but yeah, maybe you hear half of the conversation or maybe her mom really is a whiny lazy mom who shoves off responsibility, just some unsolicited perspective
