Our Daughter Expected Us to Watch Her Kids on Our 40th Anniversary Trip, But This Time, We Said No and Left Her to Handle the Consequences

Amanda, always persuasive, tried to turn our quiet anniversary getaway into a family trip. Over dinner, she hinted at joining us with her kids, using guilt and sweet talk.

Denise and I tried to hold firm, explaining it was a couple’s trip, but Amanda didn’t back down—calling daily, crying, and even getting the grandkids to plead. Eventually, Denise wavered, and I gave in. We canceled Oregon and booked a Florida resort with the whole family.

As the trip neared, Amanda’s real intentions surfaced—expecting us to babysit while she and her husband enjoyed spa days and nights out. Our special anniversary had been reduced to free childcare. Frustrated, I made a decision. I rebooked Oregon in secret and told Denise later. She was stunned but thrilled.
