Parents Who Allowed Their Teenage Daughter To Skip Disneyworld Wonder If They Made The Wrong Decision

We all remember what it was like to be a teenager; you had no idea what you wanted, but you still insisted on making your own choices without any outside influence. The teenage years are some of the best and worst periods in people's lives; some peaked during those years, while others have nothing but terrible memories from that period in their lives.

We all wanted to fit in as teenagers. We made sure to do things that were considered cool and stayed away from things that were deemed childish or lame. Many teenagers start to distance themselves from their families and prefer hanging out with their friends since all the activities their families do are "lame."

A Reddit user who goes by the username u/Fun_Talk3027 made a post on r/AmItheA**hole where he explained how his teenage daughter refused to go with the family to Disneyworld despite their insistence. OP and his wife wondered if they made the wrong decision by allowing their daughter to stay and asked the Reddit community for their opinion.

Here's how Reddit users reacted to u/Fun_Talk3027's situation:

Reddit

Either way, her plans definitely failed, and she regrets not going.

Reddit

This user is teaching their daughter from a young age to be responsible for her choices.

Reddit

She got exactly what she wished for.

Reddit

We will have to wait a couple of years to see that.

Reddit

This user also has a sister who behaves in the same manner.

Reddit

Her side of the story might lead you to believe something else.

Reddit

People always manage to come up with their own stories.

Reddit

That's the way to do it. That way, you will have proof.

Reddit

Her plans were ruined by her parents, and Disneyworld became a much more attractive option.

Reddit

What would a teenager do otherwise?

Reddit

She missed out on all the fun.

Reddit

No means no. It cannot mean anything else.

Reddit

"She is experiencing the MOST minimal of consequences."

Reddit

Words to live by.

Reddit

Wait until she learns about the harsh realities of the real world.

Reddit

No one should force you to do anything.

Reddit

This user had a similar experience with her sister as well.

Reddit

They insisted and begged, but she still didn't want to go.

Reddit

Being a teenager is confusing, and the daughter will learn from this experience that when she insists on something, people will take her seriously and do as she asks.

She probably had other plans, which were ruined when her parents didn't leave her alone at home. She didn't anticipate this move by her parents.

The parents are definitely not in the wrong here; the daughter should assume the consequences of her choices. Even after the parents insisted and made many attempts to convince her, she still refused to go. The daughter has absolutely no right to complain.
