They asked me what resort they should stay at, they wanted to stay Saratoga Springs, I told them they should stay at the Boardwalk area. They said they wanted to stay somewhere where they could walk to some parks because there little one was in a stroller.
They decided on SS.
I wanted to shout out SHUT UP and LISTEN to me...
The only saving grace was on our Kozzina night both of them said we should of listened to you..I thought do you think I hang out on the DIS and make spreadsheets and plan everyday by the hour for nothing.. Justification!!
Sometimes you just have to step back and let make there own decisions. But if they would only listen!!
They ask. You tell or advise. They ignore. They complain later on. ... man oh man, don't we ALL have family members like that? I've personally given up trying to give any kind of advice any more to family members about either WDW or DL. They KNOW that I know more then them, yet they never listen when they ask and I tell or advise only to complain about their own choices of not listening... so I've just stopped now. A few months back my cousin was once again asking questions and I just stopped her and said I'd rather give her some websites to check out instead of answering any of her questions. So I emailed them to her. A couple of weeks ago I was shocked to get an email from her thanking me for the websites as she never knew there was so much to know in advance of going to WDW - and she actually apologized for ignoring me before! Now if only everyone else would realze we Dad's do know of what we speak....
