A teenager has been questioning whether or not they made the right decision to abandon their family on vacation. In a recent Reddit post shared to the popular “Am I The A**hole?” subreddit , the teen explained that for a combination of an 18th birthday present and a high school graduation present, their parents got them a cruise, which became a family vacation. Normally, the family only goes to “all inclusive” resorts and were warned ahead of time that cruises run with a strict schedule that needs to be followed.
“Well it was a week-long cruise and they would not head back to the ship when I said it was time to go. They were busy shopping and bargaining with the locals. I finally said that I was heading back to the ship.
My mom waved me off,” the teen wrote in their Reddit post. Their parents ended up missing the ship’s departure by 45 minutes and reached out to the Reddit poster to question why they didn’t stop the boat from leaving without them. “I wanted to scream that they were not going to inconvenience 3,998 people because two could not understand what a schedule was,” the teen continued.
“They ended up having to fly to the next port from there and it was expensive. They are pissed at me for leaving them behind.” “I don’t know what I was supposed to do.
They literally told me that they knew what they were doing. I wish I had never asked for this. They are making me miserable because I left without them.
” After posting, many people were quic.
