I’m all for taking your children abroad but can’t she see this is different? She’s taken on the single mam persona and to be fair, she puts in more effort than the other huns but how many single mams out there with 2 children under 4 can do this?
She forgets this is through a work avenue as well, assuming she gets staff discount. There’s a reason this irks me as well. Without giving too much away, my father worked in the industry- private jet airline for corporate/political types not commercial. When the plane needed to be flown out without passengers (for maintenance, one way etc) my mam and I would go along, sometimes staying with my father if his trip was extended. This happened at least 4 times a year until I was 4 and we moved back, I have zero recollection or memories whatsoever except for this amazing McDonald’s playground in one of the cities, we didn’t have them here then. Thats what I’d imagine 4 year olds need-security, consistency, routine and love from their parents, let them learn to love and feel secure in their own environment first.
