My Dad is celebrating a milestone birthday this year and wants us to go on holiday for a week to a resort we've been to before. Last time they paid for us all including my brother and his then girlfriend.
Now this time we would be expected to pay and also take the kids out of school for a week. My dad says he will 'write to the school and sort it' (as if anyone else hasnt tried this?) but still I will then have used a weeks annual leave that I cant then use in the school holidays hence making me have to pay for childcare. DH is also resisiting as he wasnt so keen on the resort as other places we've been and rightly points out that we can only afford one holiday a year and why should it be of someone elses choosing?
I can see both points I know my dad wants us all to celebrate his birthday with him and the destination should be his choice but surely that should mean we have a say whether we go or not? My mum keeps emailing and putting pressure on and I feel really torn tbh.
AIBU to feel backed into a corner by this?
