A woman is taking to her account online to express her thoughts on a massive dilemma that her boyfriend has recently put her in.
She claims that her man wants them to fly business on their next trip but leaves her 13-year-old son whom she shares with another man, in the economy. Now she’s wondering if flying separately from her child would make her a bad mother or not.
Taking to Reddit to express her dilemma and confusion on the matter, netizens had their say after the mother said her man felt her child wouldn’t be able to appreciate the amenities that Business Class brings to its passengers.
And as you can imagine, the debate saw a flurry of responses being generated on the subject.
The duo is all set to go on an international vacation soon and she’s running out of time because he’s got to book the tickets.
“I do want to enjoy the luxury that business class offers but leaving my child in economy just does not feel right to me. If I fly without him, does that make me a bad mother?”- she questioned.
Her man earns way more money than she does. Therefore, he really planned this journey for her with great enthusiasm. But seeing him isolate her child left her speechless for a while. And netizens claim that’s a serious red flag.
But a few people disagreed and thought there was nothing wrong as it was just a seat and they would be having him around at the hotel, tours, dinners, and whatnot. And then one also mentioned how children shouldn’t be brought on expensive class flights because it’s more of an exclusive endeavor that adults would enjoy more.
The duo has agreed to pay for the ticket costs equally so that had some complaining about why it’s such a big deal and hence isolation would make the child feel so bad, adding how he would remember it for the rest of his life.
This reminds me of my friend. A smaller situation. Her 2nd husband came home (first had died and she and the second both had children from previous marrage) tofind that she had given the children jacket potatos with butter. He complained that margarine was good enough for them. So the next time she did them, he was there and he complained that he had marg instead of butter. Her reply was if it’s good enough for the children it’s good enough for you. Take the lad. I am sure that he will enjoy it. My parents were going to a very formal dinner and dance. Evening dress, 4 course meal and my Dad was president so at 9 they took me. Mum told me which knives and forks to use. I had a pretty pary dress (late 50’s/early sixties. I thought how grown up I was, managed the meal and sat through the speeches. Then Dad took me home. We lived very close to the hotel. I loved it
