Dad Asks If He's The A-Hole For Abandoning Daughter On Vacation

“Sorry, but I have to go ESH. I mean, clearly Jane was the asshole, inviting herself, her husband, and her two kids along on what was supposed to be a milestone anniversary vacation. And her expecting you to babysit so she had a romantic vacation makes me absolutely fucking cringe. You raised an entitled brat, though sometimes how kids turn out has little to do with their parents. 

But on the other hand: That guilt? Yeah, that’s you knowing the answer to your question. Now, let’s be clear: Sometimes we have to be the asshole. Sometimes we have to take action without telling anyone or without being above board. Sometimes we have to spring a surprise on someone who was completely unsuspecting. But that doesn’t mean we’re not assholes for doing it. Rather than put your foot down and set boundaries, you kinda took the chicken shit way out of not telling anyone until it was too late for anyone to do anything about it. And honestly, I’m cheering you on for doing it. But it is an asshole move.”
