Mom Makes Husband Go Alone With Kids To Disneyland, Asks If She's A Jerk

The thing about telling someone what they're going to be doing without taking any input at all is that it has a tendency to make that person that much more upset.

    Font - I think it's fair to want time alone, but I have to say YTA for deciding this without real discussion?
