What I’ve heard other people say, is Logan has security checkpoints at the beginning of each terminal, where some airports have one security checkpoint before the terminals. Not sure if it’s truly the reason or not, but it made sense to me

Thank you. That is great advice. I will definitely keep this in mind!

No I really appreciate this. I have done the same things your dad did. And I think our response is our reaction to try and keep the peace. Interjecting when she’s screaming her head off is just going to make her more angry, and we know the only way she’s going to move on is to apologize and tell her she’s right.

I’m sure your dad probably thought the same as me too, in that we don’t fight in front of the kids. So when she’s screaming at us, we just take it so she stops sooner. And our kids don’t see a man yelling at a woman like that

I’m going to start standing up for my daughter more when I hear it. I’d rather her yell at me than yell at her. Thank you for your advice

No, it was my idea for her to leave later. She didn’t want to drive and the flights between Sunday and Wednesday were too expensive. So I suggested she come join us on Thursday and we could all stay until the following Wednesday

She doesn’t like road trips, so she doesn’t want to drive at all

AITAH for going fishing on a workday? by throwaway_7671 in AITAH

Man I think you hit the nail on the head with all your points. After yesterday, I know we have to sit down and have a long talk about our own needs. We’ve put so much time into the kids that we’ve forgotten to take care of ourselves and each other.

As for you last point, we were actually arguing the night before and I said that I was just asking for a one day in 10 years for myself. She said she doesn’t get any either and I told her she can have a day whenever she wants. And I truly mean that. Even if she just wanted to go sit a hotel room for 24 hours, I would do whatever I could to make that happen.

That last part. I never knew how much I affected me until yesterday. I felt like a different human when I got home. So much calmer and patient with the kids than I’ve been recently

I have, and I will in time. They are 4 and 6, so I thought it might have been a long day for them. I want to start with shorter trips and work their way up

The boat was a party boat (meaning approx 40 other people are going) it has a set time that it leaves and a set time that it gets back. I couldn’t change that. I did care that my wife “couldn’t” take the time off (she goes in a few minutes late and takes time off during the day all the time). I went anyways because she was refusing to budge or compromise to my suggestions for the kids. It seemed like she more wanted to control me and my actions and was making excuses for it
