[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So irritating! I love my husband, but seriously, everything is always a production. We recently went to see a light show, and it was past dinner time, so I’m putting in a Chick-fil-A order for pickup on my phone (birthday kid’s request, and we knew this was their pick before we left the house). “Wellllll, I don’t knowwwwww, I need to look at the menu.” It’s Chick-fil-A. You get a sandwich, nuggets or a salad, pretty much. “Read me the mennnuuuuuu” and then proceeds to get a regular sandwich, like he always does.

His parents are the same way. I can’t just throw out an idea, every detail has to be picked over. “Do you want to see a kids’ movie today? The girls want to go see ‘Migration.’” Well what’s it about, blah blah blah…it’s a kid movie. About ducks. “Well let me read about it, gee, I don’t know.” It is a kid movie. I’m paying. In or out. “Well what are the times.” Well, 11:30, 2, 3:40. “WELLLLLLL, I don’t KNOWWWWWW…” You have nothing else to do today. You are parked on my sofa. In or out.

[b]I just can’t stand how some adults don’t get that not everything is a production, not every single meal is super important, not every single activity is super important, it’s about the big picture and the flow of the day. Just go along to get along, sometimes! In or out![/b][/quote]

If you know these people are like this, why are you inviting them to come along? Ditch your husband and enjoy your lightshow with the people who know how to go with the flow![/quote]

OP here. I did, actually, keep it moving about the movie tickets. The time was coming up, they were “leaning toward a no,” so I bought tickets on the Regal app for just me and my kids. They had more than an hour to decide, and once I decided on the movie time that would work best. I let them know. I also let them know what time I was ordering the tickets. Then, as we were getting shoes on, they were grousing about it. I said they were welcome to hop in the car and buy their tickets at the kiosk, but they said no.[/quote]
