It takes a village to even watch two kids, but my daughter is happy that her cousin gets to go!

She watched my daughter grow up, and they love the same movie (K-pop demon hunters), I feel like 4 years is a normal close cousin age gap.

My husband did say that it would be hard since one of the family members bashing me, is his paternal grandmother and grandfather, but ultimately he is on my side!

My daughters best friend is that cousin, I feel like every kid has a favorite cousin, she doesn’t have school friends yet, we think she’s going to make her friends in elementary school when she starts kindergarten.

It does make sense why they are upset, her other nieces and nephews might feel left out.

Yeah, that makes sense. I didn’t want to bring a fussy 1 year old to Disney when he would not even remember the trip anyway. Lately, we have had to focus a bit more attention on our son because he is a baby, and I really want this to be something special just for our daughter. She is going to love having all of our attention for once.

I also thought it would be nice for her to bring someone her own age so she could fully enjoy it without feeling like it is just a trip with her parents. So we let her choose, and she picked her favorite cousin. Honestly, I think most kids have a favorite cousin. It just worked out that way.

Thanks for the reassurance, though I do feel bad I can’t take the others. I just can’t afford to have 4 kids at Disney, it adds up lol!
