Admitted Helicopter Parent Stressing Over Daughter's PI status...

[Goofy4WDW1964]

The responses don't seem mean or particularly nasty. Maybe there was an assumption about the discount because half the posts on the CP board are from parents who want to know how and when they can get a discount. The OP has posted in the past asking for "family benefits" when his daughters' have done the CP and when they went seasonal or became a college rep, so I don't think the idea that he was worried about his own vacation came out of nowhere.



If you find those statements condescending and rude then you are reading a tone into them that may not exist. Putting an adjective in front of the icon doesn't make it condescending. And yes, the OP is being very dramatic in his replies at this point, including starting yet another thread. Maybe this isn't what Kathy meant, but he could de-escalate by not crying victim and bashing himself to everyone who doesn't agree with him. Maybe this is projecting onto the OP, but many people on these boards start a new thread when they don't get the answer they want to hear. I thought the OP was just being more subtle in asking the same question as last time, hoping someone would offer a way for him to help the application without outright asking because that blew up last time. And, declaring that you're an adult while implying that other responders aren't comes off as condescending.

You have your opinion and I have mine. In my opinion, it was condescending and rude, especially for a moderator.

And my remark was meant to be condescending. Again, I am adult enough to admit that was exactly my intention.

OP, sorry, I understand you wanting to get your thread closed.
