May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 10

I'm having a lot of angst about trying to decide whether MIL should come or not....she would share a cabin with our 4 boys. It seems like that might be stressful - trying to make room for all the boys clothes and such. The youngest is in a crib, that is why we could have 5 in there. I don't want the kids or MIL in our cabin. Again, feeling a bit selfish not wanting to share. It is just we have been planning this trip for so long and it just wouldn't be comfortable for me to share with MIL and I really, really don't want the kids in our cabin.

Argg..wish we hadn't even considered it. I hate having to make these decisions. It is just about as bad as when we got the Cat. 1 call!

If the handicapped room is available, there would be more than enough room for the boys and mom. But it most likely wouldn't be near your cabin. Oh wait, that might be a good thing!

Not a movie, but originally in Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. Then much later in Animal House.

Technically it was:

'Please, sir, I want some more.' said in Chapter 2 of Oliver Twist. Where Oliver was asking for some more gruel.

Bubba Grump's "Thank you sir! May I have another?" was said by Kevin Bacon's character as he was getting spanked as part of an initiation right.

Hey Nan, would you be interested in adopting me?

Royal Search Party?





You only have to be loyal to one... but you must be courtious to the others... Diplomacy... that and Smarties are what keeps us from starting wars you know...

You will quickly forget the costs. The memories will last a lifetime.

So I read your post to DH and he said... "But what kind of memories?" To answer Nan's question, we have traveled with her regularily and she is a lot of fun. The only issue is that she is not independent, both physically and emotionally. So that can be a bit draining. Again, feel so selfish as I know there will be a lot of really good memories....but with all 4 boys and her in one cabin, we might have some not so good memories we will need to deal with. Lisa

I agree, it's never about the cost in dollars, but be realistic about the cost in stress on you and the family. That will not be forgotten. Good luck.

 

[nskjerven]

That's ok... I have loyal subjects too, you know... I keep Knighting people...

we each have our tactics to rule don't we

Another trip perhaps. This one is all yours. Just my opinion. It will be good for the boys to have their mom and dad's full attention. Or the kid's club, whatever!

 

[BubbaGrump]

She's not fond of Jon or me. She is judgmental and because he didn't do what she wanted in his life she treats us bad. Oh she wants to see us and the kids but puts us down any chance she gets. Most of it was because we didn't get married in a Catholic church. And we were young when we got married but we have always taken care of ourselves, even though it was hard during those college/party years!

Some people!!! I swear!!!

Yeah! Actually, they DID look an awful lot like these guys! Quite a thrill for an old lady!

 

[woody73]

. . . The older one did (going to high school) but not DD, she was just excited to go out.

Oh, what carefree times!

Careful what you ask for!!!! She's MEAN!!!
