So my mum and my entire side of the family are going on holiday for someone's birthday. I can't go as I have a really important meeting that I can't get out of (literally booked in a year in advance). And my wife can't go as she'll be around 8 months pregnant and isn't up for flying and travelling at that time. We have a 2 (will be roughly 2 and a half by the time of the holiday) year old son who my mum wants to take on holiday. My sister and family are going so there'll be other kids there. It's to a resort in Turkey.
My wife doesn't want my son to go for 10 days and "isn't comfortable with him being gone for 10 days without her". I argue with her a bit saying he'll be fine, it's just to a resort and there'll be everyone there including his cousins who he can play with. I think he'll have a great time and really learn a lot, as opposed to being at home alone with my wife, as always.
Anyway, long story short she says no, so I message my mum saying no, but we'll go next year on holiday with the family and that my wife isn't comfortable with him being away.
My wife found out what I said (I told her as I didn't think it was a big deal... I mean, it's the truth) and we've just had a huge argument over it.
She thinks I shouldn't have mentioned her name... But what else could I say? Even if I BS'd it, my mum would figure out that she wasn't comfortable with it. So what else could I say? She now thinks my mum will hate her and it will be awkward. I don't thi K she will and that she's reading too much into it.
Anyway, eager to know if I am an ass hole.
