She Was Going To Pay For Her Daughter And Her Daughter’s Friends To Go On Vacation, But After Her Daughter Said One Of Her Friends Would Look Fat In Photos And Uninvited This Friend, She Canceled The Trip
This 42-year-old woman has a duaghter named Abby who just celebrated her 18th birthday. Abby’s dad Max left her right before she had Abby, but 5 years later, he popped back up looking to be a part of Abby’s life.
Unfortunately, Max has spoiled Abby beyond belief in an effort to make up for lost time. Honestly, she knows that this is the reason by Abby put on a lot of weight in her teen years.
Well, a year ago, Abby decided she wanted to lose weight, so she created a little “milestone reward system” to help support Abby.
Every time Abby reached a milestone in losing weight, she would purchase a small present for her.
Several months back, Abby asked if she could stop getting her small presents and instead pay for a birthday trip vacation for her and her closest friends.
Since she was planning an enormous party for Abby too, she thought it would be fine to put that money into Abby’s trip, along with the money she would have spent on her milestone presents.
Last weekend, she and Abby started getting organized for the vacation.
“I called the other two girls’ parents to confirm the girls would be and learned Abby’s best friend Betty isn’t going,” she explained.
“Betty loves traveling and was looking forward to the vacation so I asked why. Apparently Abby uninvited her because “she is too chubby to look good in pictures.” I calmly talked to Abby and reminded her how Betty would feel being left out for such a reason and she went off with “I didn’t work so hard for this vacation so my pictures will be ruined.”

“Long story short, I insisted Abby should apologize to Betty for body shaming her and reminded her how horrible she felt when people did it to her not even more than a year ago. I also threatened to cancel the vacation if she didn’t apologize because although I am glad she is so confident in her own skin now, it is not an excuse to put others down. She stormed off and went to her dad.”
Not long after that, Max called her, and he was furious. He yelled at her for making up a reason to call off the trip. He also told her she should not cancel the trip at all, but she shot back that he was just allowing Abby to be a bully before hanging up on him.
Next, she called Abby to say she wasn’t required to re-invite Betty on their vacation, but she did need to say sorry for being so cruel to her.
Well, Abby didn’t say sorry to Betty, but Abby did attempt to get Betty to lie on her behalf about why she isn’t going on the trip.
“When Betty said no, she sent a ton of hateful texts and body-shaming insults I can’t even write down,” she said.
“Betty sent me screenshots so I canceled the vacation. My ex tried to rebook but it’s a very popular place with a long waiting list so soon after I canceled, the girls were replaced with other people.”
Abby and Max now think she’s horrible for canceling the trip, and Abby is currently not speaking to her. While she does have a few friends that think she handled this the right way, she also has a couple of other friends who don’t agree.
She’s left wondering if it was wrong of her to cancel Abby’s trip for how she treated Betty. What do you think?
