dear panel, my sister, dad, niece-9- and myself are coming down in sept. we want to keep it a secret from my niece because its her first trip. care to impart any knowledge on how to suprise her.
randall, very sneaky of you (i like it!). my brother does that to my nieces every time! first make sure you have a plausible reason for where you are going. can't get on a plane, or hop in the car, on a whim, right? next, decide where you want her to find out. is it as you are leaving home, or literally not until she is getting onto the disney property? if it as you are leaving your house, you could surprise her with four park maps so that on the travel to florida she could start dreaming about what she would want to do. let her start listing out her must do! attractions! if it is as you are getting there, a lot has to do with whether you are flying, or driving. if you give me a quick follow-up question with more info on how you are going down there, i can get you some more detailed suggestions! just go to my bio page to ask. have a magical vacation!
im not a parent but i've seen my mom and dad when they thought my sister and me were asleep. we were camping in the woods and i couldnt sleep but it was a while after we went to bed. i guess they thought we were asleep. i started hearing quiet noises and peeked out of the tent to make sure it wasn't a racoon or a bear or something and saw mom bouncing on dads lapwe got a baby brother 9 months later there is surely no reason at all why a friend of your mom&#39;s, who is not a friend of yours, should visit you or take any particular interest in your baby. simply talk calmly to your mom, and explain that while you tolerated this woman at the shower and wedding, you don&#39;t like the woman and do not want her to visit you. your mother ought to udnerstand this. r3emind her that this is your house, your home and your baby, and your privacy must be respected rather than the idle curiosity of this other woman. that sort of person pushes up the social tree exactly because they are insensitive and never take hints hi lg, <br>it&#39;ll be interesting to see ( after the weekend, when most readers will be back ) what other people think of the situation you describe. it sounds as if your parents probably are a bit too strict, but with all they hear and see of the dangers of the world today, one can understand their fears  and its even worse when parents don&#39;t care at all. sometimes they may seem to be hypocritical, when they&#39;re actually trying to get you to avoid mistakes they made. your sister sounds immature and spiteful. what would they think if you said you wanted to see a shrink or counsellor to work on the problems they have identified in your behaviour ? ( that way, it makes it harder for them to object  and indeed these diferent perceptions of what is a "problem") ought to be part of what you&#39;d discuss with a counsellor. be cautious about your overdose idea  apart from the obvious dangers to yourself, it&#39;d surely also give them much sronger grounds for being even stricter, which is the exact opposite of what you want to achieve. i have a few nearby. i like going to the lake, i'll drive over to cave city with my sister and check out mammoth cave and all the sites around, or red river gorge for camping. that's what's around me but if i want to drive a little extra me and my sister sometimes go down to gatlinburg. please Your girl sees you like a partner, and a little like a big brother under that umbrella. Now imagine telling that to your 5 year old little sister. Wouldn't she do the same thing? It's not particularly that she is just sad, is that she sees that you don't want to be her partner. Instead, what you want to do is to push the fun for later and respect that engagement. thanks for the tip make your station private. Honestly I get really worried about it when its myself, but if its another girl (in which case they usually panic or start laughing while apologizing) ill laugh with them or tell them its fine. My parents and brother joke about my dad and my brothers gas a lot, but when its me, they react in a completely different way. Sometimes I feel like girls are just expected to not pass gas? call the place in california and ask them about it
