[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a dear friend who is very fussy and finicky. When we go on trips together, she will want to plan out daily activities ten months in advance including such detail as “should we start the walking tour at 9 or 10am.” And, dinner must be at 6:30 and when I say restaurants in Rome don’t open until 7, she will track one down that is open at 6:30. We’ve been good friends for a long time so it’s something that I just deal with….as does her husband.  [/quote]

This sounds more like someone that likes to plan, rather than what OP is describing. [/quote]

Clearly, damned if you have a preference and damned if you take more than five min to figure out if you have a preference. The only thing safe to have is enthusiastic agreement with whatever OP proposes.[/quote]

Um, don’t you mean OP’s kids? They were the ones who picked the movie, and the birthday restaurant.

Do you get that you don’t have to go to the movies, with anyone, ever? Do you get that if a kid picks a restaurant, you don’t have to go? You can just say “no thanks” instead of acting like deciding to go to a movie or get a chicken sandwich is really that taxing for you. Trust me, no one will miss you if you don’t participate. We know you’ll miss out on the attention of the decision-making process, but honestly, don’t care if you’re there or not.[/quote]
