So right before heading to work my wife told me two of her work friends bought her a ticket to go on a trip the weekend after this one, and if I could be with the kids Thursday-Friday (the rest of the weekend I was supposed to be with them and she usually leaves). She told me they surprised her with this, and that they're going to see their family, that she wished they had asked her before but they thought it would relax her a bit (whatever that means she said).
She put me on the spot but I kind of expected her to think I was going to be somewhat upset and I told her, it' fine with me. I didn't want to ask her many details but I did ask where the trip was, she told me it's to New York. She asked my opinion on what to do since the flight is at 4am on Thursday morning, she said she could leave late on Wed stay with her friends and they'd all go together. I said it was fine.
Did I do the right thing here? I do have to work those days, but all it means is I have to drive 1 extra kid to school, everything else is the same. I'm trying to give her space and not pressure her on this type of stuff. It's going to be a though 5 days for me wondering what the heck is going on over there, but I see no other options.
