I Took My Grandchildren to Disney World and Now My Dil Is Mad at Me

When my son Ethan set up this account for me, he insisted I share my recent dilemma online. According to him, my understanding of what’s normal is off-kilter, and he was convinced that virtual finger-wagging would set me straight. So, here I am, recounting the story that made me the family pariah for taking my grandkids to Disney World.

Ethan and his wife, Sarah, planned to attend a wedding in Mexico and asked me to babysit their kids, Lily (5) and Jack (4). Despite my initial reluctance, I agreed. During their absence, an invitation to Disney World came my way, and I took the grandkids, thinking it was a splendid opportunity.

Upon their return, Sarah was devastated. “You robbed me of a milestone,” she said, accusing me of taking away the experience of their first Disney trip. Ethan asked me to apologize, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it, feeling bitter about being labeled entitled. Our standoff has since grown into a chasm.

Reflecting on the events, I wonder if this issue is more about understanding and communication than a trip to Disney. Perhaps I should have informed them beforehand, but I thought it would be a perfect bonding opportunity. Do you think I was wrong?
