Parents in disagreement what would you do?

to make a long story short my Mom has bought a ticket to Florida for me for my birthday to see my sister and neice and nephew. DH told me there is NO WAY HIS son is going on a plane ride.

I asked him why he didn't want OUR son to go. He gave a million nonsensical reasons and is really just being a jerk about it.

I told him it's unfortunate he feels this way but we are going anyway.

What would you do, would you go anyway? I would be going with my Mom possibly my other sister too.

Unless he can give some valid reasons why he doesn't want his son to fly, I would still go... there's no sense in restricting yourself for irrational reasons

well said, when kids are born, it seems like many DH's have an irrationality switch that goes on...

I am on the fense about that because I didn't want to go away with my DS and leave DH home even though I was traveling with family. I wanted our first trip to be together so maybe he feels that way. But on the other hand it is only a 3 hour flight and not a 12 hour trip that my DH was considering.

Is he just worried about all the crap going on right now?

I agree.



Me too.

I wasn't crazy about DH taking Joseph to FL either. It wasn't a terrorist thing for me. It was that sometimes DH is inattentive. I drilled it into his head every possible danger of losing a child that could wander away.

I Agree. Maybe he is giving irrational reasons because he is concerned about terrorism?

Re: Parents in disagreement what would you do?

I flew with DS to Las Vegas (very long flight) when he was 6 months old.

However (I kmow I will be the odd one out) I don't think I would get into a fight with DH over it. I'm sorry but it's just my opinion. I feel if I didn't want DH to do something with DS he would have enough respect for me not to do it so I would have to do the same

I would go. i've flown with my daughter so mant times, she has more sky miles than me. It's ok... If he's worried about the stuff going on now, I understand but it's not an international flight that would make me more worried. It's a tough decision, but personally i would go. maybe he wants to go to, it would make him feel better.

I would go... i think you need ot find out why he has fears of letting your son on a plane, but at this time, its probably really safe to fly.

Dh & I would never fly seperately so I can't really give you my opinion. It's either the whole family or nothing......

that's how he feels, but I don't it's fair for him to pull the respect my wishes when he has no good reason!

Re: Parents in disagreement what would you do?

okay so here are his reasons for not wanting Roman to go (mind you he said if I want to go that's fine???????):

1. scared because of all of the terrorist crap going on BUT wanted to fly to Florida for a cruise in Dec.

3. the airport will be crazy (we're flying Southwest out of MacArthur)??????

2. he's too young

3. He doesn't want to expose Roman to my a hole BIL (although we're renting a house and won't even see my BIL)

4. threw it in my face that 9 years ago I left Florida early because I got into a fight with my Mom and sis

5. we don't have the money for a vacation

6. I want to get away from DH (this one is sounding more true every day)

7. nobody told your sister to move to Florida, she can visit here

I can go on and on obviously he is contradicting himself. When I mentioned it he didn't even hear any details he was just very reactive and said no.Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Parents in disagreement what would you do?

i might be in the minority - but I do believe DH has a right to his opinion as well (as nonsensical as it may be). it IS his son too.

If I were in your shoes I would get my Dr. to talk to my DH and explain it is perfectly safe for the baby to fly - maybe that will calm him a little.

I also think there is probably another reason DH is being resistant and he hasn't told you yet - or maybe he doesnt really know...but either way, try to talk it out. And go! You'll have a great time...my daughter is going to be 1 next month and has taken 4 trips already.
