I have a problem with my father. Every year, our children go back to their grandparent’s home, there is 3 months free for my husband and me.

Revised

I have a problem/an issue with my father. Every year, our children go back to their grandparent’s home, there are 3 months of free time for my husband and me. At that time, I always plan a trip for our family: for my parents, my husband and I. One of the reasons is I want to give my parents more good memories through the trip. Everytime I discuss this plan with my father, my father expresses some emotions that he refuses to travel with me. The excuse is that he doesn’t want me to spend so much time to make this plan, also I asked my father to give me the money for the trip, because that will make him feel more comfortable. I can afford the traveling fee, but I think if my father gives me money, that makes him feel more comfortable. I think he wants to go with me, he doesn’t know how to express himself correctly. Every time we will argue about the same topic, my mother feels very sad about our argument. I think it’s a problem between my father and me.

This year, I am planning a ten-days trip to Japan. I already made some plans for this trip. When I discussed the details with my mother and father, my mother was very happy about it, but my father wasn’t. 

For the last two years, I took them to go abroad twice a year. I had an negotiation with them that starting from next year, I will just take them abroad once a year. During the next winter holiday, I will go on a trip with my husband.
