Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I live in the US but am from a country in Europe. My cousin is getting married there in late summer. The whole extended family is going. I'm going to take both my kids there for a few weeks, but will unfortunately miss the wedding. One of them has school that starts a couple days before the ceremony.

When my wife realized I was taking both kids she decided that she'd maybe take a trip to Europe at the same time with her parents, who have always wanted to go (though not to my country, if it matters). 

They're super flexible on the dates for their trip, so I asked her if she wouldn't mind taking one kid back home with her to start school, allowing me to see the wedding with the other child and fly home the day after.

My wife said no. Her reasoning is that if she knows the kids are gone for a few weeks she wants to be free to make her own plans or possibly choose not to go at all. I didn't push her, because it's her prerogative, but I'm secretly annoyed. I'd like to think I'd have done the reverse for her.
