Please help!!!--What would you do??????

[Princess_Jessica]

thank you very much. i never thought that listening to them would pay off (thats the teenager in me) but when i read about her situation i couldnt believe it! and you were right if any guy were to treat me that way they would have alot coming to them!!!! and lets just say it wouldnt be the money from my vacation!!!

also i noticed your From Indiana well so am I!!! so were in Indiana?

 

[ExPirateShopGirl]

My heart aches for you! Have a great trip! Don't feel guilty, although you probably will. Enjoy yourselves!!

Your doing the right thing...hopefully she'll wake up and realize that the dude needs to be dumped and family comes first. I'm 23, but I am getting married next summer. I remember when I was in that phase though(the lust phase with the jerks out there) She'll snap out of it eventually and then wonder what the heck was she thinking. Have fun and good luck!

Jessica, I had not noticed that you were a fellow Hoosier. I was too impressed with your wisdom.

If you happen to live in the Columbus,IN area we might cross paths. I teach classes in the local schools, most reading, but also how to kick boy butt, if needed. I try to teach life skills. I am well qualified because I was not as wise when I was your age and have made all the mistakes.

Hope you have a great day and maybe you will meet my grandson someday. He is one of the good guys and just turned 16. His girlfriend might not like that though.

Princess Jessica, ya never know. My bil's all graduated from IU, one just ran for trustee. Some of my in laws are slowly buying up Brown County, acre by acre and I was in Smithville just last weekend at a baseball game.

For an old lady I get around.

Heck, if you are around 15 or so you might go to school with my niece.

[Princess_Jessica]

well im 16 im gonna be a junior what school does she go to?

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

She is going to be a sophmore this year and I am not sure what her school is called. She speaks about six languages, plays about the same amount of musical instruments, is in accelerated classes, plays golf, basketball etc. Just your ordinary teen girl.

Makes me tired just reading her schedule. She spent the summer in Korea. Going to school there too!!!

You are lucky to be in such an educationally rich environment.

My bil is a substitute teacher in the school system.

Small world, huh???

I haven't read any of the responses and just now replying so you may have already figured out what you're going to do. If I were in your shoes this is what I would do and have had to do with my daughter's boyfriend: Disney has a cancellation policy of so many days depending on the type of reservations you have made...so many days for room only and so many days for packages, etc.... If you do not let me know 5 days prior to Disney's due date you will not be able to cancel. If you do cancel then your money is non-refundable. If tickets had been purchased ahead of time those tickets are non-refundable, but will be saved for a later vacation.

I know I sound hard and mean, but they need to follow the rules and be responsible for cancellations as we are for vacations we have booked.

Good luck!!

 

[Princess_Jessica]

WOW im impressed sounds like you have a very smart niece!!!

sounds like your all in the Ed. department!!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Princess, I have met few children who could not learn and enjoy it if they are taught properly and with love. Kids are just plain smarter than adults but sometimes they get a rotten teacher who ruins it all for them. Learning is fun, really!!

I have taught "love of reading" for over 40 years, more or less. I am a volunteer and started out with my younger siblings. Reading is the key to education. I say "read for fun" and all else will follow.

Life is a banquet, take a bite of everything and see what suits you!!

I agree and that is why i read just about everyday. mostly all Poetry. but i think that your methods of teaching are great wish i had a teacher like you. and actually i have had some.

Gratenana...I am praying that this loser BF moves on real quick. OMG...900 on a necklace-who is paying her rent? Meha, it better not be you Hoping you have a wonderful trip- the Aunts don't realise how important they are to the little ones...so sad

 

[gratenana]

Well my DD hasn't been around for 3 days now, not a word from her, so that usually means bad news.

We are starting our packing here.

Going to have to see what happens, have the vacation packet packed away in a safe place, no refunds being issued here and nothing being cancelled.

Thanks everyone.

I would make sure that your DD know her BF is not welcome in your house with out you being present. Does your DD live with you?

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Princess_Jessica, it shows that you have had good teachers, and to your credit -you listened and learned!! I will wave next weekend when I attend a baby shower in your neck of the woods!

gratenana, that is great advice about not letting your house become their playground while you are gone. That is how my son met his first wife. It was the start of a downward spiral. Sad, very sad.

No unfortunately she moved out when he came back to the state. He needless to say was the reason we had to ask her to leave our house. She was sneaking out at all weird hours coming in 5-6 in the morn. This along with her attitude change and the fact that she said she didn't feel she had to pay room and board, (she works full time making 10.00 an hour and he takes every penny he even this did when he was in a different state) we just couldn't do it in any longer, we had to look out for the younger ones.

She already knows that her BF is not welcomed here and I think she knows that if he comes on our property he is fair game for whatever may come his way.

We...your trip is about 2 weeks away-I hopw everything goes well for you. I think you need a break Good Luck

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

gratenana, I hope you have good neighbors who will watch over your place while you are gone.

I have been where you are and the child has turned out well, now. Sometimes all you can do is let go and let God.

Gratenana, I just couldn't help posting. Sometimes people don't make the best choices. But, they are their choices. IMO, when people make poor choices, they will always try to blame it on someone else. I think your choice to take those children to WDW is beautiful. If your DD shows up for the trip, I hope you reconnect as a family. If she doesn't, I hope you are able to leave your worries at the big "Welcome" sign as you drive on property.
I wish you easy travel, great hotel rooms, short lines, and much Disney Magic! YOAMD squad, I wish that you find Gratenana and give her something extra good!
