My son (18) starts college in the fall. He wanted to go to Yellowstone, and he wanted myself and his mother to be there. This will be a five day trip, and we are leaving next week. All plans have been made and finalized.
Yesterday my father in law came over and said he needed to talk to me man to man. He said this trip is hugely disrespectful to his daughter, and I need to pull my head out of my ass. This was confusing to me, because my wife has been kept in the loop throughout the planning process. If she had an objection, why wouldn't she have brought it up?
My father in law said it's hugely inappropriate to go on this trip with my ex wife, and I need to figure something else out. He said leaving my kids with my wife with her while I go on vacation with my ex is the height of disrespect, and he won't see his daughter be so mistreated. At this point I was annoyed and told him to mind his business. He told me to remember this conversation and never ask him for anything in the future.
Am I the asshole?
