[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old? Who is she going to see?[/quote]

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]

[b]11 is not “young daughter”...she is a tween. Your jealousy is showing. How does DD feel about the flight? What other steps to independence does she take...ride the bus? Sleep away camp?[/quote][/b]

Listen our school doesn’t let our 11 year old cross a 4 lane lighted crosswalk to school, so 11 is still young.

Where are people seeing she opposes the trip, my impression was she just opposes the UAM portion. That said, if they have never been overseas, and xDH is not used to international travel either but is instead following his young new bride, it could be dicey.  I mean new wife is recently single and leading the trip — so are they heading to night clubs in Bali and sticking the girls with local babysitters?  Or is it more she is visiting her family in Japan?  Very different scope, and OP hasnt talked about that but that would be part of my thought.

As a family, our vacations are family focused; this sounds more like a couples destination vacation that overlaps on ‘his time’ (maybe b/c it is so long). [/quote]
