Need help fast....

[Kimmifunn]

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: !

Kimbug...my dear. My mother has been driving me crazy too. And it's only getting worse with age. And I'm only 26. The worse is yet to come. :roll:

Yes, Kimmi, unfortunately for you (and all of us) the bad characteristic just get worse with age. See what we have to look forward to !

After dealing with my in-laws and parents - I apologize to my son about once a month for what I am going to put him through in about 30 years and for not giving him any siblings to help him out when we get old. (although the sibling think certainly hasn't worked with my in-laws) :funn:

Oh, isn't that the truth about not having siblings. It will be a hard road ahead for these "only children." (That's my son too.)
But then again, I have 2 siblings that rarely helped when each parent was failing and that's almost worse! Knowing there could be help and not getting anything but an occasional verbal sympathy and being told, "Well, you were always the favorite!" :shock:

I could have written this myself. My son is an "only child". I have 3 sibs. I was the one that took care of my mother before she passed. I was alway's the one that made sure she had food, meds, and took her to appointments. There is a silver lining though. My mom had a sister, my Aunt Dot, who was very close to my mom. She told me all the time how much it meant to her that I took care of my mom so well. When my Aunt Dot passed away, I was shocked to learn that she had left me in her will. Anyway, moral of the story, it pay's to be kind, and nice. My mom was not the easiest person in the world to get along with, but she was my mom and I tried to make sure her needs were met. I have already told my son, when the time comes put me in a home and don't worry about me. Live your life and don't feel responsible for me!!!!!

Well said Kathydwells...

Kimbug, as a person who has planned years and years of summer vacation's for many people ,there is one true lesson.........no matter how perfect a place is SOMEONE will find SOMETHING wrong with it!!! And it will most likely bo something so stupid or small. But once they get there and get to that beautiful beach the small stuff just melts away!!!! ;-)

Well, I know we're all tangentizing regarding mothers (and other family members) but THANKS for all the support. I haven't been a member of the board for all that long but I already know you all are a great group of people. I'm looking forward to not only our spring vacation in SoWal but our summer one (with my husband's family) as well.
