I M14 am on vacation with my mom and stepfather and a bunch of his family. This is the second summer we have done this. Last year I enjoyed the vacation but the flights sucked. I have a switch with lots of games on it. My mom made me share with my stepfather’s brother’s kids because they didn’t bring anything for entertainment. They could have watched a movie or something on the screen on the seat. I got to be bored because they didn’t plan ahead. So this year I planned ahead. My dad gives me money so I can buy souvenirs and do my own thing. I asked him if he could upgrade my seat for me. He looked it up and saw that it was on sort of an auction system. If there better seats to be had then if you win your bid you get the seat. He checked with my mom and asked her if she was okay with it. She said she was. We put in of $55 for an upgrade to coach+ or something. More legroom and closer to the front of the plane. I got it. It was great. I sat by the window up front instead of in a middle row in the back. And I had my own plug in for charging my switch. When we landed my stepfather said I was rude to not want to sit with the family. I said that I had permission from my mom and dad to sit there. Now he is arguing with my mom because he said that it should have been discussed with him since he paid for the original ticket. I think I made things worse when I said that no one discussed it with me when I was told to share my switch even though I bought it with my own money. He is saying that I’m not allowed to upgrade my seat on the way home. AITA?
