Need help fast....

[kimbug]

Oh help!! My mom's at it again. After spending many hours planning our spring trip, she's not happy with my choice....Adagio because it only has a beach glimpse from the balcony. She doesn't want to rent a house because it's just the two of us and my 2 teens 13 & 16. She feels safer at a condo type community. Oh, I'm ready to pull my hair out! I swear this might be the last time I do this and she wonders why I prefer the summer vacation with my husband's side of the family?????? They just let me plan away and hand over the money!! Any suggestions??? What are the Dunes of Seagrove like? Thanks for any help!

Take this from a girl that tried to please her mom until she died....IT WON'T HAPPEN!!!! Sorry to be so blunt, but people like that have a defect that keeps them from being FUNN and thankful. Are you paying for this trip? If so, pull out the XXL cajones and tell her that place is all that's available and that it will be beautiful. If she is paying...it's actually YOU that is paying! Next time, leave her at home.

Sueshore, I wish I had known you years ago!

Sueshore is right. My 4 year old came home from preschool with a good saying- and I am waiting for the appropriate time to use it with my mom the next time the complaining starts- "You get what ya get and you don't throw a fit."

Tell her the price goes up depending on the view---will she be sitting on the balcony the entire time! You can always lock her out there if she starts mouthing!

Let your mom plan it and then you can complain about her choice.

Tell your mother that if she takes a little itty bitty walk TO the beach--only steps out the door--she'll get a full view. Problem solved. The exercise will do her good.

I'd be more concerned, as another mother of teens, in keeping the kids happy! Adagio is a perfect place for teens to hang out. They'll have a fabulous week at the beach and pool there and consequently, so will you. After all, you have to live with your teens year-round! You only have to live with your mother for a week. Give your kids a nice vacation; they'll thank you for it.

You might just be right. It's very frustrating because she just seems to get worse with age and for the most part it's what keeps me from spending more time with her.

Any comments on Blue Mountain Beach vs. Seagrove or more specifically Adagio vs. Dunes of Seagrove? I'm sure both are nice but is one location more advantageous than other?

Tell your Mother that she can stay home if she doesn't want to stay at Adagio with you. (I am mostly serious, Kimbug.;-)) She sounds like a three year old.

Yes, Adagio is closer to For the Health of It, where you can go to get the massage you so desperately need. Adagio is also closer to the Outlet Mall, where you should send your Mom for the week, while you have a great time. Other than that, both are located conveniently to most everything.
Tell your Mother to talk to the hand because the ears ain't listening. :funn:You are more than welcome to tell her what I have said about her acting like my three year old nephew. The only difference is that he is usually moaning about wanting to do things.

Thank you everyone for making my morning ! My husband is already starting to wonder about my "attachment" to the computer. I posted this thread before I went to bed and checked it first thing this morning! I'm already addicted!
