Not the A-hole.
You weren’t trying to ruin your future mother-in-law’s vacation; you were giving her a real, informed warning based on your own experience. It’s completely normal for you to be worried about safety, especially for a teenage girl and someone who has never traveled before. You didn’t insult the city; you just said that tourists should be careful and ready.
It sounds like she’s being defensive because you questioned the idea she had of a “perfect” trip. But giving safety tips isn’t rude; it’s the right thing to do. You did your part by being honest; what she does with that information is up to her.
AITA for “ruining” a vacation for my future MIL
