Hey, A Waffle gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out

some more relationship stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider hit

that like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. Let's crack on with today's first story.

Now today's first story comes from M. Jot's 007 who says, Am I the asshole for refusing to take my toddler to visit my in-laws? And it does come with an update.

Hubbs and I have a young toddler, 15 months old. We live out of state from both of our families

who are also far from each other, a five-hour

drive. Neither of our families live very close to a large airport, about three hours for my family

and two for his. For context, my family adores hubs. His family hates me and I don't like them

either. The reasons they hate me aren't important. Just

know that it is nothing that I've done. There are certain unchangeable things about me that they

hate and they were against us being together as soon as they found out. Since establishing boundaries

and getting married, they have calmed down but they still avoid speaking or making eye contact with me.

Now, we have a toddler and I'm planning a trip to visit my parents for an upcoming holiday.

We're also planning to tour the area because we were considering moving there next year.

I've done all the legwork to plan the trip.

Hubbs wants to visit his family as part of the trip but I refuse. My main reasons are it's way too long of a car ride with how young kiddo is.

It's already enough traveling and stressed just getting out there.

Second, they don't do anything for our kid.

Multiple members of my immediate and extended family have visited at least once and stepped

in to help with childcare gaps even though they are all a flight away.

So part of the purpose of this trip is for us to be the ones going, to visit instead

of them always coming to us.
