What does one do when they have a family but also want to take an expensive holiday in Cuba? Well, if you're Reddit user u/throwaway12947361, you ask your children to help pay for that vacation, and then have the fates decide on the subreddit /r/AmITheAsshole if you are in fact a terrible parent for doing so. After the story was posted to the Twitter account @AITA_reddit, users almost unanimously agreed that he was being an asshole. Below are some of the best responses to this story.

Many were aghast at asking a 12-year-old to pay for a trip.

Some argued that this is only normal when your children are full-blown adults.

Some even attempted to rationalize his behavior, but still couldn't understand it.

Except for this one user, who felt it was ok to teach fiscal responsibility to a 12-year-old.

However, the best responses came from those who offered better alternatives.
