Need help fast....

Hey Kimbug,
Been there, done all that. I agree with Ms. Kitty & Mermaid. You already know that you will never please your mother. (You're a people pleaser, no?) Anyway, try hard (it will be hard to do) to enjoy the vacation time with your teens. Make that the part of this trip that you remember most. Not the part about your mom being a selfish brat.

.... My 4 year old came home from preschool with a good saying..... "You get what ya get and you don't throw a fit.".....

Simple as that, eh!

Adagio has three buildings that are directly beachfront, but the beachfront units obviously cost a lot more $'s. Dunes of Seagrove is set out in more of a "U" shape configuration with two pools set in the center of the "U", so unless you're staying in the beachfront units (at the top of the "U") you're only going to get partial views again. I have units at both places and will PM you with links so that you have a better idea of each complex.

Our son's preschool teacher's version was "You get what you get and you don't get upset." or, "You sit where you sit and you don't pitch a fit." I love that woman for providing me with sound bites.

Don't I wish. Funny it works on a 4 year old, but not a 68 year old woman.

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.

Where were you all those years when I needed these words?????? It took me way too long to learn this lesson. Of course I am not a quick study!

Then nothing likely will anyway, so Kimbug should give it her best shot and then move on without looking back. And enjoy her beach vacation!

TFT - Those are so good for all of us to remember. I love the simplicity!

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?

I had this conversation last night with my sister. It seems this is the way my mom is and I cannot change it, but sure as heck try to change it. I do not plan on bringing my mom with me on my trip down in March and am sure will have to live through the pityparty she will be having. And I will hear about it until she dies, but I need some time with my family without taking care of her needs. Be strong...it will help those of us struggling as well.

I will tell her what you said, SJ. I might not have much luck but hey, she is all organic and will most definitely enjoy For The Health of It! Now the only question is will my kids ! I'll just let everything roll for week and I'll bring a big supply of VODKA :clap_1: !

How silly of me to think I am alone in this struggle to please my mom :roll: ! Unfortunately, I guess that's just the way it goes sometimes. I'll just keep remembering when I'm the 60 year old and my daughter is the 40 year old to just enjoy life.

Thanks for all the support. I am choosing to stay with my plans at Adagio. We were supposed to stay there last summer; Dennis changed that. My son can't wait for that awesome pool that is there and I know even with just a beach "glimpse" from the balcony we'll have an awesome time :clap_1: !
