My husband has planned our summer vacation every year since we have been together. With the exception of last year, we traveled out of state to my nephew's wedding. (He now says that was my turn at planning)

Usually we do things that I am not interested in, but I go along with it because I want the kids to have fun. At the beginning of this year he agreed I should plan the vacation. I planned on a fishing/boating trip. He agreed at the time, but has now changed his mind. He told our 12/yr old son (the older kids aren't going) we will go to World's of Fun and a baseball game. (without consulting me) I don't like the rides, and I don't like baseball. He won't take the boat due to gas prices, and besides we have the Missouri River out our back-door. I tried to work out a compromise, but he won't budge. I told them to go without me and I will find something else to do here.

He says now, thanks to me the vacation is cancelled, because he refuses to go without me.

I don't want to dissapoint my son. So now what?

Ask your son what he wants to do. Then do that. If your husband and you can't make an agreement, leave it up to your son. Or even propose the two ideas to your son, what you want to do and what your husband wants to do, and have him pick one. No mommy and daddy fights and the kid is happy. How much better can it get? ;)
