Sounds like no matter the decision the kid was going to complain. If she would have gone at least she could have stayed by the pool and participated when she wanted.
Trust me from experience you don’t want to force a teenager to go only to ruin everyone else’s time because of their attitude! Fine stay home…. She would have made it miserable every chance she got. It’s what teenagers do best. They eventually grow out of it but it’s hard times for parents
They kind of are the asshole. Children don’t know anything, especially what they want or don’t want. The child is too young to make that sort of decision for herself. If it were my kid. She would have went with the rest of the family. I would never segregate my family based on the whim of one child’s undeveloped frontal cortex.
Yep, she was adamant about not wanting to go. Had to be home with her friends. So, her parents finally decided to let her have her way. End of discussion! She got what she wanted, and it’s all on her. Definitely NOT the parents fault. Bet the 13 yr. old won’t try this stunt!
I’m glad the little brat got thought a lesson. Kids these days think they know everything and then when things backfire on them they want others to take the blame. The parents did what was right.
Que increiblemente absurdo.Libertad mal entendida.Aun vive con ellos,va y Punto.Es una semana de vacaciones!!!!No algo que marcara o traumara su vida por siempre.Que la dejen elegir su ropa, gustos, etc .Pero ir o no ir a vacaciones familiares…..Si fuera por trabajo o estudio se entiende.Sentido Comun.En fin eligio mal y se enojo con los papas que por lo que se ve están creando una hija insegura y que creo es lo que menos quieren.Ayudar y enseñar a los hijos a tomar decisiones es labor de los padres.
Bravo to the parents. A 17 yr old who acts like that needs to know they are not the boss. Don’t want to go fine stay home. They probably would have made everyone miserable anyway. This way the rest of the family can enjoy a trip of a lifetime and all about me teen gets her way. Just don’t be angry with the parents. They did nothing wrong.
When I turned 16 in 1975, I stopped going on the family vacation. It was a week in the same rental house every year. It wasn’t no Disney trip but it was my choice. I took my two girls when they were toddlers. The young lady made her choice just like I did. I had more fun at home by myself though in the 70’s
When I was a teen my parents did something similar I had to stay at my grandmothers and missed out on a family trip. It sucked, but it was a hard lesson to learn. I never missed a family trip again. Disney is not cheap. Now as a parent ran into again the same situation with at the time my teenage daughter attitude and all went to Disneyland and it was miserable the Rollercoaster of drama, mad, sad, crossed arm,huffing and puffing, the constant side conversations about changing our attitude was exhausting. Needless to say we wish we left her home. She is now in her 30’s and a parent herself and can look back now and say yeah I was a brat. So in my opinion these parent did the right thing children have to learn these hard lessons we as parent have become to soft so worried that we are gonna hurt their feelers that we cave at every little tantrum and we forget we are the parents and we are reinforcing bad behavior and then we wonder why are children have no moral compass. So last thing said Parents raise your children dont let them raise you.
Seeing what she missed out on when her sister showed her the photos from the Disney World Vacation doesn’t give her the right to blame her parents for her not going on the Disney trip. She made the decision based on her attitude and now she has to live with it for the rest of her life. She would have likely ruined the Trip for the rest of her family. I would not have made the same mistake myself. Maybe if her parents plan another Disney World Vacation hopefully she’ll have learned her lesson and get to go.

Why would you take her all she was going to do is make everyone’s vacation miserable. They taught her a valuable lesson family always comes first.

In all fairness, my daughter actually did this, we went anyhow and she was not happy but understood that she made this decision.

Too young? She was 17. Leave her home and enjoy your trip.

Too bad for Sarah. She was adamant about not going, she got her wish. No reason to whine after. Maybe she learned her lesson.
