A man has asked if he was wrong for offering to pay for his in-laws to go on vacation with them but putting them in a different hotel.
He’s Racked Up Points
The man travels for work and has lots of hotel and airline points. “This summer, I am taking my family to Disney World. We are going to stay at one of the resorts on the property.”
A Free Vacation
He wanted to do something nice for his wife’s family. “My sister-in-law and her family had a hard time during the pandemic, so I decided to do something nice and invite them along. My treat. I said I would pay for their flights, hotel, and park tickets.”
They Were Miffed About Something
His sister-in-law noticed something and voiced the issue. “Everyone was excited until she started talking to my wife. Now, she is upset that we are staying at one of the resorts, and they have to stay in Disney Springs. Apparently, I’m being cheap by using points for their hotel instead of just paying for them to stay at the same resort as us.”
Ungrateful
The man’s wife couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “My wife told her sister and brother-in-law to shut up and accept the gift, but they didn’t. They told my in-laws that I was making their kids jealous by not letting them enjoy the same stuff as us. To be clear, the hotel I booked for them is very nice. It’s just not The Grand Floridian.”
He Gave Them The Option
The man asked if they wanted the free vacation or not. “So I finally talked to them and gave them the choice of accepting my gift or not coming since I could still cancel their reservations.”
Mayhem Ensued
Apparently, they didn’t appreciate being called out like this. “They started yelling at me for being the jerk and taking something away from their children. I had talked to them like adults, but when they started screaming, their kids heard them and found out that they might not be going.”
Everyone Is Upset
The guy feels bad for offering a free trip! “Now their kids are upset at their parents for possibly screwing up their vacation. And I’m the bigger jerkfor making them look bad in front of their kids. Am I wrong?”
He Asked For Opinions
And he got them from members of an online community. One user said this: “Let me get this straight… You’re gifting them airline tickets, park tickets, AND a nice hotel, and they demand more? Cancel their tickets. Immediately. For their benefit, too, so they drop this entitled idiocy forever. So the kids learn you get NOTHING if you’re a jerk. So they don’t try to walk all over you in the future. You’re not the jerk. That would be them. Poor kids… Heck, I’ll take this amazing gift with endless gratitude! Disney Springs got 4.85/5 stars. I’D BE SO HAPPY AND GRATEFUL IF ANYONE DID THIS FOR ME!”
Shocking Behavior
Users agreed the kids deserve the vacation – the parents do not. One person shared: “OP [original poster] should take the kids, leave ungrateful SIL and BIL behind.”
They’re Surprised He Even Had To Ask
It’s so painfully obvious who the real jerks are here. “OP, most definitely not the jerk. Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth. They should be thankful you offered to even pay for flights, let alone tickets AND the hotel…. AND for the WHOLE family?? Like the level of entitlement is beyond comprehension.”
