Nah…it wasn’t mean. It probably would have been meaner to mention it and dangle it in front of his nose when he couldn’t have it. Besides, he probably wouldn’t have wanted to leave you alone to play ringmaster all by yourself, anyway, and a family vacation is about being together, right?

I would have turned down the first class seat and then mentioned it later. Like, “Honey, they offered us one first class seat, but I turned it down because I knew we’d all want to stick together.”

I am glad that you made it! Stand-by (especially w/ kids) is stressful. I am D3 w/ my brother so thats bottom of the ladder for us! As for the 1st class seat, there is no way that I would have given DH a comfy cushy seat while I sat with 2 toddlers in coach! It’s just not gonna happen! Hve Fun!

You definitely did the right thing! I would have done exactly that… or depending if I was peeved at Hubbz, maybe taken the First Class seat for myself. lol

Exactly the same thing and why mention it? It’s like rubbing sand in those tight crack areas. *grin*

I’m excited for you - HAVE FUN!!!

You did the right thing. Don’t mention it to DH…you both get to fly First Class enough so it’s not like he was missing out on anything. I’m just glad you all got to go.

MIL has fun trying to get her flights, so now BIL flies out to make sure she gets on (he works the flights).

I hope you’re having the “Happiest Day on Earth” there. We had loads of fun the last time we were there. And we didn’t even need to get fastpasses cuz it wasn’t that busy. Although Pirates & Haunted Mansion were closed most of the time.

I might have told him, but no way no how would I have let him sit up there. We flew from Ottawa to Chicago last fall on our way to California and for that leg, he was sitting one row behind us (J and I) and it urked me the entire time that I had to entertain while he slept and listened to his music. On the way back he was supposed to be about eight rows behind, but the guy next to me was very happy to make a switch to so we could all be together, much to Hubby’s dismay he had to entertain while I closed my eyes for a few minutes :). It’s all fair, I think.

I’m hoping he would have refused it anyway so he could sit with his family

I think if you told DH he wouldn’t have left you and the girls to indulge in First Class anyway! Enjoy your time at Disney! I’m extremely jealous!

my husband would have done the exact same thing, so believe me, there is no way he would have gotten the option. HAVE FUN

How is allowing him more time with his family mean?
I would have done the same. What he doesn’t know, won’t hurt him!

Modern Mami

I would have done the same thing. Not mean at all.

I’m glad you made it! I don’t think I would have told either. Of course, if he reads your blog… Have a great time!!

Parenting is a two-person gig in my household. No way would I send him up to first class and stay back in coach by myself with the crumb crunchers unless. . . we had one first-class seat each way. Then I’d strike a deal: “You want them coming or going?” Obviously, coming home when they’re tired would be easier because they’d be pooped out and probably sleep most of the way. Still . . . that would be a fair compromise!

Oh, I would have told Mulletman. But then I KNOW he wouldn’t ditch us for better seating. He’s such a family guy!

Yeah, I would have done the same thing… no way I’m sitting with two kids by myself!!

We’ve had to sit appart before (always in the same class though - and I’ve never flown First) but DH is happy to sit with DD. But most folks are very happy to give up their seat to let us sit together.
We haven’t had to fly in a “puddle jumper” since DD was born, but when I was 5 mo preg we took one from Miami to Tampa and I got the emergency exit row…that was funny. I was suprised that the attendant/pilot didn’t ask me to switch with DH, perhaps he thought I was just chunky.

If you had told your husband I think he would have stayed with you and the girls.
Have fun Kailani! Can’t wait to hear the stories when you get back!

It was the only reasonable decision there was, I think.

Maybe you guys could have taken turns in the first class seat. I don’t know. I would have made Mike sit with me too and not told him about the seat. It is hard to travel with a little one by yourself. I’ve done it many times and always say I will never do it again. Cute picture of the girls!

I’d have said, “Honey, they offered to give me a seat in first class, but I told them no because I wanted to sit back here with you and the girls.”

Dh and I always do things together so I would have mentioned it to him, but he wouldn’t have been mad. I am sure he would have joked about it, pretending to be mad that he didn’t get it but he’d be mad if someone made us sit away from each other.

what he didn’t know, couldn’t hurt him.

I wouldn’t mention it to him either. No use..besides I know that he wouldn’t trade the 1st class seat to the coach seat beside me, haha.

Ummmm…. i can’t believe you even CONSIDERED it. I would NEVER have considered it. You are just way nicer than I would have been. I would have smiled and said “he** no. If mama ain’t happy, nobody will be happy.” Nah… you didn’t make a mistake in not mentioning it. It is a family trip. It’s all good.
