Today, I took my daughter on vacation. I wanted to surprise her by bringing her favorite uncle with us. At the airport, my daughter and I met with him. My daughter started bitching and threatened that she wouldn't board the airplane until I got rid of him. She's 21. FML

Perhaps something happened between them that makes her uncomfortable. Talk to her privately instead of judging her.

Your daughter is 21 she obviously knows whether or not she's comfortable in a situation, if she doesn't want to travel with him she might feel unsafe around him. I wouldn't blame her for this or look down on her for it.

She calls him her Favorite Unlce at the age of 21? She uses that term "Favorite Uncle"? I think you need to take to her or get her some Consoler there might be something going on between them

YDI for surprising someone. God I detest surprises. A lot of people find it stressful to have plans changed suddenly especially in a big way. Certain personality types prefer to enjoy the anticipation of an event (which experience is stolen when plans are kept secret like this), and need time to mentally prepare for the future. For people like that, there is no such thing as a good surprise. Perhaps the daughter is like me in this. Or perhaps the uncle wronged her... I agree with previous posters that a sexual assault could definitely explain going from "favorite uncle" to "guy she can't bear to be near". And I also agree that she is old enough to deserve her own opinions. This is not some three year old having a pout, this woman is old enough to serve in the military or adopt or buy property, allow her some autonomy ffs.

Wow... What has come to the world that someone getting upset about having their favorite uncle invited suddenly means the assumption that she was abused by him. For those that came up with 'ask her why privately' and 'maybe she just wanted it to be you and her' you all give me hope. The rest of this thread is depressing and scary, I'm going to go watch the fireplace and burn my thoughts now.

There could be two issues here. A. You daughter is not comfortable around her uncle B. She wanted to go on a vacation with you and spend some quality time together However there could be another issue like why did you bring her uncle and not her father... maybe she picked up on that as well and that made her uncomfortable...

I'm going to agree with the others and suggest you talk to your daughter about why she had such a fit. I think that if she were hoping for a private vacation for just the two of you, she wouldn't have had a fit; she probably would have said she was hoping for some mother-daughter time. It's also quite possible that her uncle abused her when she was younger, and she didn't want to see him. But, again, TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER!!

I'd really like a follow-up on this please. Specifically once you've talked with your daughter and asked about the situation.
