[quote=Anonymous]How old is your child, Op?  If he/she is an older teenager it could be that your wife thinks that your kid is o.k. to go to this event w/o mom or dad tagging along.

I know that when I was a teenager I took trips related to an activity that I was in (seminer/workshop/competition) and my parents never came along with me. The kids all roomed together and attended the event together accompanied by our teachers/sponsors .  There were no parent chaperones involved at all and it was nice to have that sense of grown up independence, tbh.

Your wife may also not want to set vacation plans in stone too far out for fear that it will conflict with an opportunity that arises for your kid (scholarship competition for example).  You don't want to be in the position of trying to decide whether or not to go on vacation or stay home and let your kid attend a very important event.

As far as actually scheduling a vacation goes, how difficult is that, btw?  You pick a destination, book a rental/plane tickets, etc.  I just get the impression that you are sort of clueless as to how much work your kid is putting into their activity and how much your wife is doing to help your kid succeed.
