Aunt takes her 11-year-old niece on a surprise luxury trip to Miami, Disney World, and New York after the girl’s parents excluded her from family vacation with her brothers to Mexico, sparking drama: 'They said I spoiled her and undermined them'

Firstly, we just can't grasp the idea of excluding one child from a family vacation, whether it's at the request of another sibling or not. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called a family vacation, it'd be called a "how to make your child feel neglected" vacation. So, we fully support this hero of an aunt who swooped in to make her niece feel seen and appreciated, something her parents clearly failed to do when they took her four older brothers to Mexico.

The parents had asked the aunt to watch their daughter while they were away, but lucky for the 11-year-old, her aunt just so happened to have a work trip scheduled in Orlando and New York. What better way to lift a young girl's spirits than by taking her to Disneyland and close enough to the Empire State Building that she could almost hug it? It's safe to say we all know who's getting the Aunt of the Year award!

However, this isn't exactly a Disney fairytale. When the parents returned from their trip, they had plenty to say about their daughter's last-minute adventure, and let's just say, they weren't too happy about it.
