Dad Wants To Go For Solo Vacation Right After Twins Are Born

Lifestyle July, 12, 2025

Nothing can be as heart filing as welcoming a new life in one’s family. The imprints of the little feet signal the phase of transformation for all and sundry around. The parents have to poise their happiness with the stress of handling their nimble nuggets. Thus, the need for unconditional support stands at the helm of the time. Unfortunately, a Reddit user had to toil hard to bring the fact into her life.

The anonymous Reddit user used her throwback account (u/ThrowRAvacaytwin) to illuminate the valleys that were rocking her personal life. Her relationship was near the brink of collapse. The woman was due to deliver her twins in October (1st October). She was bracing up to live the most terrible moments of her life. She was trying to put on mental might to stand through the test of nature. The thought of having her love by her side added to her courage.

Then all hell broke loose on her. Her partner watered down her mental and emotional strength just a few days before the delivery date. He shared the news of getting the reward of a solo vacation to Bora Bora for two weeks for his exemplary performance at his company. It was then time for the crashing part. He had to leave for the vacation three weeks after her delivery. The news sent her into hysterics.

There was the option to choose from 10,000 and vacation or just 14000. But her partner was not up to go for the second one. He did not want to sacrifice his trip for his babies. She tried hard to put the salience of his presence around her in those testing times before him. But he was adamant on his vacation stand. He pushed out the second option by asserting high comfort levels and shot in the instances of Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates.

He did not stop there. He tried to make his point prevail by convincing her mother and twin to come for the care part in his absence. The woman toiled hard to go for some compromise but in vain. Finally, giving up on the talks, she took on the social media world to see where she was standing.

Sharing her woes, she said, “Anyways, 3 weeks post partum by myself without my partner isn’t exactly something that’ I want to do. He told me, that he already spoke to my mom and twin to see if they’d take care of me and they agreed. I don’t want them, I WANT HIM. He does not get it. He just doesn’t get it..”

Ending her story, she wrote, “Guys, I am at a loss here. Is what I’m asking for really too much? I have tried all suggestions for a compromise and he hasn’t been receptive to any of them”.

The replies of the users inundated the platform. Extending heart-warming support to her, one of them said, “NTA. How can he leave his newborn twins?!”

Other uses pointed out the severe medical conditions she might had to undergo.

Hopefully, it would have settled on the right note.
