2 years ago I thought I had found everything DH had purchased for me for christmas...I loved it all...but he fooled me....He had gotten me something else and hid it...he was pretty crafty too...he put it in MY DRAWER....

That is GOOD! One year.. I got skis from my parents. I was in High School.. They hid them under my bed!

[staley7580]

tell your mom to take you guys

Yeah RIGHT. I asked her if she was going to take the family on a vacation last year.. She was like NO. She doesnt like kids. AT ALL. I dont think she even likes me and my sister all that much.

 

[Mkgaapril]

maybe you should let her know she can stay at home...and that you are totally open to her buying your love

 

[staley7580]

I can remember when my husband and I were dating... They were always buying him stuff.. and the first Christmas we were together they bought him a TON of gifts. I told him that they sure did seem to like him more then me!

 

[staley7580]

That would NEVER work with my mom. She would be like... DANG. They DO have a better Grandma then you.

She did come with us to Disneyland last year for Christmas. She didnt "Take" us.. It was the first Christmas after my dad had died, so hubby and I were looking for something totally fun to do so we werent sitting around all weepy, you know? So we talked about WDW. The air fare is really high for us to fly there.. So that was out. Then we looked at DL. I got a good (enough) rate at a hotel, and got our flights and such.. Plus hubby and I had Premium passes... So we were good to go. Then I mentioned it to my sister. Who just happens to live about an hour away from Disneyland. They want to come to! THEN we told my mom.. She waned to come too.

I planned the WHOLE trip for 9. We went for hmmmm... I think 7 or 8 days? my mom went for 4 days, and my sister went for 3. it was a lot of fun. But I dont think it will ever happen again.
