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.

Hubby and I both have advanced degrees and work in healthcare, but I'm the breadwinner of the family.

    Font - OverthinkingMum · 3d 1 Award YTA - you basically sent him away from his own home with the kids.

    Font - Strokedoutbear · 3d YTA. Hey, take 2 kids to a huge crowded theme park in Florida in August alone while I relax and recreate with my friends in the comfort of home. Ijust don't understand why he isn't just chomping at the bit to go. (Sarcasm) BTW if you are both employed you are not the "breadwinner" G Reply 4 12 3 ...
