'My fiancé put his kids in First Class but left mine in economy - I'm fuming'

A woman was left fuming with her fiancé after he bought first class plane tickets for him and his children but left her kids stuck in economy.

The woman took to Reddit to explain that the family had planned to travel to see his family for Christmas but on finding out what tickets he had bought her kids, she took the kids and left. In the post, the woman, who remained anonymous, explained: "I quit my job to start focusing on getting my degree.

"He's become the "breadwinner" if you will although I still contribute with my savings! I also do 80% of child-care and chores."

She went onto say that they planned to travel to his family's home for Thanksgiving but their plans unravelled after she found out what he had done.

She added: "He booked our tickets and everything but later, before the flight I found out that he, his kids and myself were put in 1st class whilst my two kids (14) & (10) were put in economy.

"I asked how he could think this was acceptable and he got mad and said he's the one paying for tickets then we go by his rules."

The woman was less than impressed and on hearing this decided to take her kids out of the airport and back home.

"He started following us screaming at me to go back but I refused and told him that I no longer felt like spending Thanksgiving with his folks after this," explained the woman.

"My youngest cried because she never flew without me."

Since landing, the man has been calling her non-stop while berating her for what she did and has even got his own family involved.

She explained: "He even had his mom text that I needed to get over myself and stop teaching my kids to be spoiled and entitled.

"She said that the fact that I was "willing" to miss thanksgiving with the family over something so trivial shows my real character and personality and mindset or "lack thereof."

In response, many have been quick to support the woman as one person wrote: "That's a bad sign for the future. Then his response is to berate you and future mother-in-law calling your kids spoiled and entitled? Even worse. It would not have ended here. I would be done with that relationship."

While another commented: "Be your child’s champion and don’t let anyone treat them as less than. He’s sending a direct message that your kids aren’t members of his family."
