Claire, John, and their toddler, Ethan, boarded a flight to visit John’s parents. To Claire’s dismay, John vanished to Business Class, leaving her to manage Ethan alone. Upon arrival, John’s parents greeted them warmly, but John’s father, Jacob, seemed unimpressed by his son’s selfishness.
The next day, Jacob assigned John a series of chores instead of joining the family for dinner. John was baffled but complied, realizing his father’s lesson on responsibility. The following days, Jacob kept John busy with tasks like cleaning the garage, fixing the fence, and mowing the lawn.
By the end of the week, John was exhausted and regretful. He apologized to Claire, acknowledging how he’d taken her for granted. Claire accepted his apology but emphasized the need for lasting change.
As a final lesson, Jacob switched John’s return ticket to economy, giving Claire and Ethan the Business Class seats. At the airport, John expressed his remorse. Claire reassured him but insisted things must improve at home. John nodded, ready to be a better partner and father.
