I would have reacted in very much the same way. And possibly told him to stay with his parents after he called me names.

There was no communication regarding her in-laws, this is probably why I would get upset too.

He packed his bags and went home to Mummy and Daddy? I would be telling him that he can stay there….dont bother coming back.

BUT….. I REALLY DONT LIKE THE PHOTO THATS POSTED WITH THIS ARTICLE.
There is no excuse for violence and we are working so hard to make change with young boys so we can stop the violence against woman that it is not acceptable for woman to be violent against men either. We cant have it both ways. Its either acceptable or its not.

My parents joined us our family on vacation (in a different hotel) and my wife was upset I ok’d it. Why? So everyone else in the world can book that trip but my parents?!? Ridiculous…grow up!

I think I’d be annoyed too – communication is key in every aspect of married life

Oh my gosh, that would be a nightmare!
I can’t think of anything worse.
It’s their anniversary I don’t know what his parents have to do with anything unless he’s only inviting them to have them babysit the kids!

Probably should have asked her first. Maybe in a different hotel or resort would be ok so you can still choose to avoid if you like

Oh no, that’s not how a holiday is supposed to be. Husband and wife should discuss everything and make all decisions together. I’d be down right annoyed, just a no no no.

No, her reaction wasn’t over the top. It’s clear who the selfish person was. I hope the disappointed mum takes a leaf out of her hubby’s book and surprises him with a similar holiday, inviting family member’s she didn’t discuss with him before hand.

No way would I accept that. Going to visit parents-in-law on holiday is one thing, but for a husband to invite his parents on a planned holiday without asking his wife is a no, no.

There are surprises and then there are surprises! I don’t think so. No way is that a holiday. She is well within her rights.

I’m sorry but I would have told him to have a lovely holiday with his parents. The other alternative would be to tell him her parents should go along as well. Different if they were staying elsewhere but staying with them? Not an anniversary I’d be looking forward to.

I would be furious if my hubby did that, I want a holiday AWAY from the family not with them.

Ohmygawd what about HIS reaction though!? What a hissy fit! Call me a cow, I’d be sending him to stay with his parents not letting him storm out!

Always, always, ALWAYS ask your wife about things like this!

No way! How selfish is the husband? It was more about him and not about her. He was just thinking his parents could babysit the kids while he was holidaying.

I completely understand her side. The not having it discussed would be what would annoy me the most.

I get where she is coming from butid also be pleased with him organising thehokiday and taking initiative

This is something my partner would do, so I understand her side

I get it from both points of view, he was trying to do something nice and if it was me I’d be dumping the kids on their grandparents and taking some day trips with just him. But I also understand her point too about just the kids and hubby. I think she should just put it into her head this is what has happened and agree to herself that regardless lose the disappointment and make the most of a lovely holiday away, knowing that it is in good faith and although not your perfect holiday one that she could enjoy all the same. Next time she can make the booking and surprise him.
