11 yrs. he wants to take her on half of his vacation with his (childless therefor clueless about children- sorry) new wife. I’m so angry he’s be such an idiot in regards to his parenting responsibilities, I’m shaking. He’s generally a blue ribbon, horrible jerk but even for him, this was a shock to me.[/quote]

And, what's wrong with him doing a direct flight and going on vacation as a family.  If he is taking his child on a vacation he is doing his parenting responsibilities.  If he went on vacation without his child then you'd complain.  Real issue is you think that money is yours and are upset he got remarried.[/quote]

no, incorrect. Issue is him putting my child on a 14 hr international flight (Asia to wear cost). We are divorced. If he could be bothered to complete the trip with kids rather than airmailing them back like an inconvenient package , I’d be supportive. [/quote]

Then, fly with the kids back and forth or offer to do one way if he does one way.  Problem solved.  Or, if you don't want them airmailed back, let him keep them.[/quote]

Some people are nuts.

So, you want [b]OP to fly to Asia to escort her daughters back home[/b] so her ex can have a fun child-free vacation??? That’s insane. Never mind how exhausting and expensive that double flight would be, she’ll also burn through her vacation days. That is beyond ridiculous.

The dad needs to man up and fly with his children if he wants to take them on a long trip.

I would do this in a heartbeat so my kids could have the experience (travel and time with Dad).  I think it is a pretty lame excuse by OP.[/quote]

you would seriously spend 40+ hrs traveling on planes to pick your kids up from a trip with their father. Seriously? You are a better parent than me. i would not do this. I wold not fly to Asia only to turn right back around. [/quote]

Dp.  Me neither.  All for the convenience of their father, so he can easily continue on his child-free vacation through Asia.  How about he escort them back to the US, then turn around and fly back to Asia to continue his vacation, if he is so intent on having a child-free part of vacation?

Seriously, did the father or step-mother in this scenario find this thread?  Some seriously wacky answers here.  [/quote]

That is my post - that I would make the flight there and back in a heartbeat.  It is 2 days.  A weekend.  It is a no-brainer to me.  I can't imagine not doing it.  My children are apparently more important to me than yours are to you.  But you do you and I'll do me.[/quote]

Wrong PP. I have traveled to Asia. It amounts to 2 days each way because of the time change, which is basically night for day and day for night - like a full reversal of our time zone. So the travel alone would take 4 days about and then with time changes and probably not sleeping great on an airplane, you would be deliriously exhausted. I would never do this trip back-to-back depart/return, and if I tried, I’d be wiped out for a week.[/quote]

It's because you just don't love your kids like PP :roll:  :lol:

Seriously thought, I do a heck of a lot for my kids and travel all over with them. This is not some life or death situation or something that will wreck them for life if they don't do it. If the dad want's to take the kids on this trip he can fly with them back home and hope on a plan back to Asia to enjoy the rest of his kid free vacation. [/quote]
