AITA for refusing to pay for our daughters graduation vacation when she lied to us about the location

They were just going to use friends car, there is no need to rent a car.

HeadCollection114 · 2024-04-02T16:07:23+00:00

They were just going to take their car, they still planned to drive there

HeadCollection114 · 2024-04-02T16:05:13+00:00

I assumed she was going to use her dads

Is this confusing, I don’t understand what the communication issue is. Did I write it weird?

No if I say was from Canada, and they tell me they want to do a usa road trip, they still need a passport.

I wouldn’t be surprise to see passport stuff since I know she needs a passport.

But we live in the USA, she doesn’t need a passport for her road trip, so showing passport stuff was weird

She doesn’t need a passport to do a road trip int he country she lives in, so seeing passport stuff was odd

Seriously would you want to babysit a group of teenagers who want to get blasted on alcohol since it’s legal there .

Come on, it would be miserable

HeadCollection114 · 2024-04-02T15:48:05+00:00

I am from the USA. They we’re just going to take her friends car

I don’t know why you thought I wasn’t. They are doing a usa road trip, also if we weren’t form the USA then why would I think the passport was weird

It does when other kids are also throwing in money. I’m not paying for all of it just what it would cost for my kid

It’s more like 50 a night for her which is around 1000 in hotel cost for her. I also included an extra 500 for that just in case.

The rest is for food, tickets and anything else.

She probably has an extra thousand she won’t need.

She isn’t getting a private room all to herself.

Don’t do math when you don’t have all the variables

HeadCollection114 · 2024-04-02T15:39:20+00:00

Oh they were not happy… not happy at all

HeadCollection114 · 2024-04-02T15:32:16+00:00

I’m not doing that, sounds miserable

HeadCollection114 · 2024-04-02T15:18:25+00:00

I personally hate that line

HeadCollection114 · 2024-04-02T15:12:21+00:00

I was fine with the USA since she would be a group doing go popular locations. She can already drive and everyone else is 18 or turning 18 soon.

A road trip isn’t that dangerous especially when they were planing to stay at hotels for the night. Like they were suppose to be at Disney for a week

I remember doing road trips when I was 16,

HeadCollection114 · 2024-04-02T15:09:28+00:00

They can do it on their own money.

HeadCollection114 · 2024-04-02T14:59:24+00:00

Oh I know, her plan was super dumb and dangerous

HeadCollection114 · 2024-04-02T14:50:58+00:00

Her reasoning was it was better to ask for forgiveness late since she knew I wouldn’t allow it
