[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]So why not let them have the girls for the entire trip.[/b]  That will be a great experience for them.  It sounds like you are more angry that the ex got married and they do these things than what is best for the kids.  Find a compromise.[/quote]

What makes you think the ex and his wife want to have the two children for time beyond the vacation? Wouldn’t the ex have offered that as an option?[b] Instead he wants to send the girls home on a flight alone so that he and is new wife can continue vacationing in Asia without children.[/b] [/quote]

This is the impression i got too. I don;t know why everyone is assuming OP just won't let he ex have the kids. I think she would be fine if they were flying round trip with the ex.  I also think the answer to this question depends on the maturity and experience of the kids. Sounds like they are not very experienced travelers. OP, in your shoes, I would also say no. [/quote]

OP is saying no to any travel.  She'd probably say no even if Dad or stepmom flew both ways with the kids.[/quote]

I didn’t get that impression. If it was the case, why ask her question specifically about long haul international unaccompanied?

I agree with the bitter stepmom thesis. I think some women want the stepkids when they want them under the circumstances convenient to the adults. They get furious that their DH can’t force that. Little regard for the children. During my ex’s brief marriage, she wanted DC overnight three times a week for CS, but wanted me to pack an overnight bag so they didn’t have to do laundry and then pick DC up in the morning and drive to school.[/quote]
