[quote=Anonymous]My parents are in their early 70s and in good health with sharp minds, but they often expect me to be their constant  personal concierge and make all decisions for them. We are flying to meet them in Florida and my mom is asking them if they need a cab. I’ve been under the impression that she understood that we are arriving a day later and will not be picking them up. Now she’s asking me if they should take the hotel bus instead. As far as I’m concerned, that’s her own choice. Cab, hotel bus, city bus, rental car. It’s her call.

She’s also asked about what they should do for dinner. She knows this hotel has a great restaurant onsite and other places within walking distance. And no, we’re not expecting and planning to eat every single meal with them. I’m starting to get exhausted and stressed out by this because we have small children we’ll be managing who are our priorities, of course. My parents are adults snd should be able to figure out these things without me, no? [/quote]
