My husband loves to travel and always either pays for, or gets an upgrade into, the first-class cabin. When we travel together with our children, he buys himself a ticket in first class and puts us in economy or economy plus. He even did this recently on an overnight flight to Paris. He justifies flying alone in first class because of the cost, and the fact that our kids (12 and 16) might feel alone if I were to travel in first with him and leave them in the rear cabin. I feel that this is unfair. I don't think our kids would mind if they were in economy plus and my husband and I sat together in first class. Is that unfair of me to want? My husband has suggested traveling alone on a different flight ahead of us so that we don't feel badly about the disparity, but this does not really address or solve the problem of the inherent selfishness in his thinking. Am I wrong? We are happy to travel, and love going places together, but it is still very strange.

Solar_Crimson posted... Forget to switch alts?No. Its a pretty weird thing for a father to do and wife should feel like its weird. Not sure why people are coming for her. On the other hand, he is the one paying so its fair for him to do whatever the fuck he wants. edit: wait wait I didnt read the part where she would do first class with him and leave the kids in economy.

I really don't get how people are finding any sort of fault with the wife in this situation. She's bad because she dares to complain that the father is being an asshole?

I was with the wife... until she reasoned that, she should also get to go to first class, but still leave the kids behind in coach. She's perfectly willing to ditch her own kids behind so long as she gets a little comfort as well? And I'm supposed to view her as the better person in that scenario? --- Hey Trashcan Man!
