Trip with parents
I was planning a trip to Singapore. I casually asked my parents if they'd like to come with. Issue is that I cannot afford the plane tickets plus the expenses for three people. I can only manage the entirety of the latter.
When my mother informed me that my father was indecisive about getting those tickets, she asked me in a needy fashion if assuming my father did not go, would I leave her behind as well? This is how she phrased it
Am I overreacting by being irritated? This was initially meant to be solo, and I am unsure as to how should I react to the emotional appeal. I didn't think it was my job to give her life meaning. I also believe this may set an unhealthy precedent of me repeatedly funding their trips.
Would you have this expectation from your child? Why or why not?
