Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's divide the internet's about a family vacation. So as
a woman that's looking for advice on this after her
husband booked a vacation for himself and their kids and
she's not going. He booked it without her, So she
posted on a mom's forum called Mom's Net that their family,
she her husband, and their teenage son and daughter. They
go on this family vacation every year every summer, but

(00:21):
this year they're doing a major home renovation, which they're
already thinking that they can't afford to do anyway, and
they're adding it to their mortgage. So she suggested a staycation.
Why at the extra expense of the normal vacation. The
husband said no, he wants the vacation anyway and wants
to go and wants to do it. The teenagers want
to go too, and they decide to book the trip
and go without mom.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Why can't mom come anyways? At this point if you already.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Booked it, well, she's torn. She doesn't know they booked
it without her, but she's torn. Does she go or
not go? Yes, because she thinks it adds to the
debt if she goes, So she's holding herself back so
that they can go. I mean, look, they booked it
without her, and she's saying, oh, I think I don't
know what.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Do I stay back because it does is an extra expense? Right?
Or is it rude that they booked all that they're
gonna go without me.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
I think it's so rude. Everyone should stay cation.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
It is rude that he that he just kind of
booked it. But sometimes you just have to just make some.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
People or say, just take the vacation, just go life ashore.
Others are saying standard ground and you know, if you
feel like it's too much of an expense, don't go.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I don't know. I'm torn on this one too. I
feel like I do this sometimes naturally though, because like
Michael will be like, no, we can't go on that
vacation when you save money, and I was like, well,
I already booked it.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
I think, I think.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
But yeah, but I think she stands around and they
need to adjust. They need to pivot. That's I think
that's the best solution.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Guys.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
It's weird. It's weird that she wouldn't go on the vacate,
right that they would go. I don't think that will happen.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
No, I think they'll she'll e to just go and
put them on debt, or she'll get them to pivot.
But the booking was done just like you do all
the time.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Apparently, Yeah, because you know what, in that relationship, there's
always one person that's always like we need to go
do it or and the other person's like we shouldn't
and it just needs to be done.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
You know. It's funny. People always say to

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Me, it to long life, and then they'll say life
is short yep, Like what which is it
