Father refuses to let 14 and 16-year-old kids join his vacation to Europe after they side with their mom during the custody dispute: ‘You chose to spend your time with your mother, you got what you wanted’

People always say that the one pro to having divorced parents is that you get to have two of everything–Two birthdays, two Christmases, and two family vacations every summer. It's not the kids' fault that their parents got divorced, so they should not have to face the consequences of having a split family.

When a parent, like the father in the story below, blames their kids for the choices they were forced to make because of the divorce, we can't help but feel sorry for the kids. Especially if it means they lose the one benefit from the whole deal.

The kids in the story below, a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old, decided they preferred living with their mom, and they said so to the judge during the custody hearing. Their dad took this decision to heart, offended that they chose their mother over him. So when he started to plan a vacation with his wife and other family, he refused to bring his kids alone, claiming they got what they wanted when they chose their mom.

Pretty harsh words from one of the two people responsible for the split of the family in the first place…
