[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 329276, member: 6546"] Nomad-- The situation you describe strikes me as though you are dealing with a couple of people of like to be "in charge".... Everything must go through them, nobody can make any other plans, you must sit around and wait for their cue before proceeding. Yes, it's rude--but I wonder if it's a sign of a larger issue? A little "difficult child-ness" perhaps? If they're not in complete control then they aren't happy....so it's easier for the family to play along rather than put a stop to the pattern.?? I would advise you not to play the game--however, if they really are doing this just to maintain control, then I would expect that you would soon find yourself un-invited to a lot of family functions. Seems like a lose-lose situation.... I wish a had some good advice for how to negotiate a new arrangement. --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
