In their quest for the perfect vacation, a couple faces a moral problem that has never been seen before. This story lets readers experience the rough emotional terrain of a dad who made a choice that caused a lot of debate and calls into question his very nature as a parent.

He talked about what happened.

For our 40th wedding anniversary, my wife and I have always wanted to take a fancy trip. We were just the two of us, remembering how in love we were when we were young. We were so excited because we had planned it all out for years.

Here comes our grown-up daughter Jane. Jane and her husband found out about our plans and quickly invited their two kids to come along. When they first asked to go on the trip, I told them no, which made her angry. However, my wife had a hard time saying no to Jane because she is our youngest child and only daughter. She didn’t want to upset her, so she reluctantly agreed to let them join.

I wasn’t excited about it at the time, but I wanted to make my family happy, and I knew my wife was fine with the idea of a “family” trip, even though she was sad that we wouldn’t be able to go on our romantic trip. We agreed with it. The first place we planned to go wasn’t good for kids, so we changed our minds and chose an all-inclusive resort that was better for families. We paid for the resort and the plane tickets for our grandchildren. The only thing Jane and her husband had to pay for was their own flight.

This is where things get tricky. The closer the vacation got, the more I changed my mind. I knew that our 40th anniversary would only happen once, so I wanted to celebrate it in a way that stuck to our original plans. We’ve always wanted to take a trip like this, but we might not be able to afford one like this for a long time.

So, without asking anyone, I changed our tickets at the last minute to go to the romantic place my wife and I had planned to go. I didn’t tell Jane or her husband. I didn’t even tell my wife until the day before our flight, which was also the day before Jane’s flight for their trip.

I feel bad about the choice I made because it wasn’t easy. But I wanted our 40th wedding anniversary to be the special, small party we had always dreamed of.

When we got off the plane and called Jane to tell her, she was, to say the least, very upset. She thought that we were going to watch our grandchildren so that she and her husband could have some alone time. Since I left, they would have to do everything on their own. My son-in-law started yelling, so I hung up on them. My wife and I then enjoyed the rest of our trip.

They got back the same day we did, but they haven’t replied to any of our texts, and Jane hardly seems to notice me. My wife told me she really liked our trip more than the family trip we were going to take, but she still doesn’t like that Jane is mad at us and wants me to say sorry. After finding out that Jane and her husband were using us to get free babysitting and a trip, I’m not sure if I want to, but I think I should… just to keep the peace.

Was it wrong of me to change our trip plans at the last minute and leave Jane and her family to their own devices?
