So my stepson's school gives 4 tickets every year to Cedar Point. We never go; we have a family of 9 total and cant ever afford the extra tickets/find a sitter/both get the day off-something always complicates it. Well this time we don't plan on letting that happen. We both got the day off for it, but we dont plan on buying more tickets. Instead, I will take all 3 of our sons in like a guys only sort of trip to Cedar Point. Meanwhile, my wife will stay home with the girls.
I feel low key terrible about leaving the girls behind. They are going to be super salty they are not going to Cedar Point. what kid wouldn't be? But is it fair that our son doesnt get to go to Cedar Point ever because of our circumstances?
The girls get to go out quite often. My sister comes and picks up the girls to take them on girls outings pretty regularly. They get their hair and nails done and have slumber parties, go out to eat, go to movies etc. She gives the girls much more time and attention than the boys, and the boys notice. They never get to go out and do anything. Point is, the girls are constantly going on outings and doing shit, to a point of almost feeling entitled to, and the boys don't really get shit. I kind of get why my sister only takes the girls anywhere, but I also get why it bothers my wife so much. The boys will be visibly disappointed.
I would really like to go as a family, and I think it should be all or nothing. I also NEVER get to do anything with just the boys, and this sounds dope. I just don't feel right about it idk. I dont want anyone to be left out, and I dont want anyone to miss out, but there is no way to avoid it.
