They could have at least waited until after the trip to break the news.

Way to ruin a family trip. The considerate thing to do for their kids would be to wait until after the trip so that the fun isn't shadowed by ill feelings and sadness. What jerks.

Terrible news. They just ruined the entire trip by telling you beforehand. Hopefully, you will be ok through all of it.
