[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Their flight timing thing is bizarre and I would wonder if they're becoming cognitively impaired or if that's some kind of weird punishment for you. Wow they really showed you, by waiting around 6 hours in the airport for no reason! Next time they try this, be out of town and let them tantrum all they want. You need to learn to say no to them. Practice saying "That won't work for us." Over and over in a very flat tone. Make it as boring as you can and ignore their reaction. Don't reward them with attention. You have trained them that this behavior is acceptable and now you have to un-do it and re-train.[/quote] This is really good advice. And it doesn't sound "mean". It's just the facts![/quote]
