Delete friend on Facebook because she has gone to disney without kids again!

[chocolatelolly]

Everytime I see her latest post about what fun she is having it gets me annoyed! Ok bit of background info, she has two children age 7 and age 8, she is currently in florida on her honeymoon. She also went last year with her partner without the children. Am I the only one that thinks this is awful?
Fair enough go on holiday without your children, but disney world?

I would hate my mum forever if she did this!

As crap things go, it is a pretty petty reason to hate your mum forever

I wouldn't take my kids to disneyland, over priced, over busy, over commercialise shit.

Then I wouldn't go by myself, either.

YABU for saying she's 'gone to Disney'. You mean Disneyland

No YOU are being unreasonable. She means Disney World.

My mother did this when we were kids. Brought us back some mickey ears. Showed us some lovely pictures of her break. All the kids at school were like "your mum went to Disney without you?!"

But then, she is phenomenally selfish at times.

I went to Florida with DP last year but no where near Disney. Would have considered Busch Gardens if we had time as DC are too small for rides and we quite like roller coasters

has anybody asked the kids if they would like to go?! Maybe they don't!! and even if they do, what has it go to do with you?!

Yeah, and maybe bears don't shit in the woods after all

I'm with you op. I'd never enjoy it knowing my children would love it but weren't there. Pretty selfish I think. Go somewhere else on your own and save that for the kids.
Once perhaps not really understandable, twice unfair on the kids.

I can't understand why adults would want to go to Disneyworld/Disneyland/Eurodisney or any other Theme Park tbh. And I also thought that all you really need on honeymoon is a nice bed and room service

Even my super girly DDs aren't into Disney - however, if I went to see Strictly Come Dancing without them I would be in serious trouble!

I don't understand why some adults are so unimaginative that they can't possibly understand why other adults might actually enjoy rollercoasters.

And I don't understand why some adults are so unimaginative that they don't understand you can go on rollercoasters at 1000s of theme parks that aren't Disney. But there you go.

Mintyy Why shouldn't an adult go to Disney? There isn't an age limit. I don't see why it's ok to slag off people who are doing nowt wrong. I'm hardly diving into the under 3s ballpool at the local softplay!

P.S. I didn't leave my non-existent kids at home when I once popped to Disneyland Paris after a visit to the great city, so not sure why you've picked on my comment again.

So far this woman has committed the cardinal sin of going on her HONEYMOON without her children to a destination some mumsnetters might find unusual.

YABU to assume her children are automatically desperate to go. As a kid I would have rather stuck pins in my eyes than go to Disneyworld.

Her children may well have enjoyed a fortnight in Mauritius or the Lake District or Paris or any number of destination. Should all honeymoon destinations be iff limits if a child may enjoy them too?

Who among us wouldn't want to honeymoon in Disney?

I think she sounds like a fabulous friend and a warm and caring mother. It's really sweet that she put up photos of her having Mickey waffles on Facebook. Two years in a row. Her kids are lucky.

I wouldn't want to go as my my sole destination to honeymoon but might spend a day or two there if I was near one.

How can you slate someone as a parent for a (in my opinion) poor choice of holiday? How can you possibly know what that person is like? It would be like me saying the OP is a shit friend based on the limited info in this thread.
