i thought i did the right thing..

A while ago after my conversation with my aunt, this is how I looked like

I called up my aunt who’s living in the states to give her the hotel name that we’re planning on booking for our vacation at the end of this year, you see my aunt will be joining my husband and I so I thought of letting her know which hotel we’ve chosen so that she can also give me her input, her ideas. I told her to check out the hotel’s website and even go to her travel agency so she’d know if they can book not only her accommodation but also her flight. I told her if I will do it from Europe, then she’d pay almost double of the price since the current currency exchange is bad.

But her reaction kind of surprised me. She got irritated. I was like whaaahaaat? (from the inside only, did not voiced out my reaction.) She didn’t tell me directly but let me feel that letting her know about the hotel isn’t important because she’s relying on my decision. Whoa! that’s just too heavy for me. I mean, it’s also her vacation and she needs to tell me how she finds things. She needs to enjoy her vacation, that’s my main concern. I also thought that when you want to go to another country for a vacation, you would want to check out where you’ll be staying, how and why you chose the place. I certainly would if the situation was reversed.

Anyway I’m not mad or anything….but I’m just a bit concern now…will we be having a nice vacation?…with my aunt in tow. :pray1:

OO…

siguro naman…

patay kang bata ka!! :ouch:

Kasi nagtanong pa eh… hahahaha joke lang, te :laugh:

Alam mo, having gone on vacation numerous times with relatives, I realized that if you want to have a grand time it better be you and the immediate family only. Or in your case, you and hubby. Kasi ang hirap mag-estima ng mga kasama lalo na at cranky! Hahahahaha

Pero malay mo naman dyan lang sya cranky hehehe

Anyway, happy mother’s day sa mama ni Charlie!

salamat sa pagbati sa nanay ni charlie :run:

Thess, pag pasensyahan mo na. Our personal experience naman with our parents is also quite similar. Pinky and I noticed that, at their age now, they do not want to really get involved with the decision process (tapos na sila doon). They feel na if it is okay with us then it will be okay with them too. Of course, before we start every vacation we always tell them na walang sisihan so everyone will end up happy.

Yan ang iniiwasan ko, masisi kapag hindi na-type-an :scared:
pero you’re right, pagpasensyahan na rin, lab ko naman yun and I can be a pain in her butt din at times :hehe:

Or really? Baka the way you said it? sometimes kasi ganun eh, it always depends on the receiver of the message kung pano ittake.

anyway, are you aware that when after I type my name and i hit the tab key, hindi ako napupunta sa e-mail? napupunta ako sa taas.

i always use tab key kasi. :P

Happy mother’s day, dear!

I would say you did the right thing and it shows that you want your MIL to have a nice time too - a part of the anticipation I would say. So I would also say a strange reaction, but don’t put to much into it. Remember: most of the worries in life, doesn’t come true (so why waist energy on it!)

Happy Mother’s Day!

By the looks of it, you’re pissed :mydance: . Whatever it takes, just play nice, MIL joining is like worst than having a 1 yr old kid to play the pool.

Happy Mom’s day to Charlie.

that would be my husband’s reaction…when i plan our vacations/get-aways ako usually ang nagoorganize, i check out the area and stuff… pinagaaralan ko nang maiigi ba.. sometimes i wanna check kung gusto ba niya yung place and more often that not ang sagot niya “bahala ka”.. and if i insist he’d be annoyed and tell me na makulit ako :D that’s why i dont bother anymore…

Happy Mother’s Day!

Maybe your Aunt relies too much on you because she has great faith in you. I’m sure she trust your decision. Hope everything will work out for the best.

natawa naman ako sa pagmumuka ni Charlie, nangulubot yata sa kunsumisyon! Hopefully and I wish you’ll have a wonderful vacation :pray:
BTW, thanks nga pala sa e-card, wala na kong panahon halos kahit magpadala ng mga greetings. Pagdating ng gabi lupaypay na utak ko, haaaay nagsi uwi pa mga maids ko for a a month break :sungit:

i feel you sister, ganyan ang aking la familia. they don’t like doing the decision making, basta go and pay nalang sila. heheheh! as keith said, habaan mo pa ang iyong pasensya. besides, the more the merrier. pero bigyan mo nang babala, tell her ‘walang sisihan.’ okidok, and don’t be too hard on yourself. vacation eto, remember? love yah lots, mwaaah :kiss:

huwag mo na isama, haha! (joke!)

baka naman she trusts your judgement kaya hinahayaan ka na lang niya gumawa ng desisyon para sa bakasyon niyo. :) o alisin na ang kunot sa noo, ang wrinkols!!!
