[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Husband Canceled My Vacation!

I just found out that my husband wants to cancel our family vacation and I’m so upset! We were going to stay at a hotel on right on the beach. My PTO is already approved. I work with Covid patients so I can’t emphasize enough just how much I wanted this break.

Now, back to my husband. Why does he want to cancel our Florida trip? He said he’s throwing me a surprise party as a birthday present. The vacation week overlaps with my 40th birthday. So, where is this party, you ask? West Virginia (I do not like WV.) And who is coming to this party? ZERO of my friends. ZERO of my family. ALL of my inlaws. Seriously. (My ILs are fine in small doses but they drive me a little crazy and the thought of a week trapped together in one house is giving me major anxiety.)

I finally told my husband that I’m not doing the WV trip. I’m going to Florida as planned with the kids. He can join or not. Now he’s calling ME selfish and childish for not going along with his birthday surprise! He’s saying his sister already bought tickets to fly out and is laying major guilt. What do you think? Am I being unreasonable? Should I suck it up? Note that we were going to drive to Florida and I only have a week of PTO so it’s logistically impossible to do both. [/quote]

Oh hells to the no.  I could see my spouse trying to pull this, but I would shut that down right quick.  And having the kids with me would be optional.  If I want them, they come with me, if I don't, they head to the in laws for the week.

And if I wanted the husband with me, he would be with me for my birthday week.  Absurdly rude for him to change plans without checking with his own wife.[/quote]
