Navigating Co-Parenting Disagreements: Should My Daughter Travel Abroad Without Us?

I’m facing a tough decision with my ex regarding our daughter’s summer plans. My parents, who live out of state and don’t see her often, have invited her to join them and my siblings’ families on a trip to Portugal. I can’t join due to work and financial constraints, but I truly believe this is a special chance for her to bond with her grandparents and cousins. She’ll be turning 6 by then, and I know she’d love the beach and family time. Her dad, though, feels her first trip abroad should be with one of us, even though he doesn’t have specific concerns. I just want her to have these memories, but I’m struggling with his firm stance. Am I being unreasonable for wanting her to go? Has anyone else faced a similar situation? Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences! #coparenting #familytravel #parentingdilemmas #FamilyRelationships
