I thought his responses were open and thoughtful, and he didn't flat out say she has to go. There's room for discussion.

This is about what's best for your D and it reaches beyond this single field trip, this is about Mom and Dad learning to negotiate and sometimes, compromise.

Because he's factually wrong about one piece of this doesn't negate everything he said.

Has she tried the different remedies mentioned here? She might like to go if she could get beyond the car sickness (I had it as a kid too, yuck! but I hated missing fun). Would her preference be to go?

Maybe you could let H know you're going to try some remedies, do some test runs and you'll keep him informed on the progress.

I see real opportunity here for all 3 of you.
