[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in a mom friend group where we started out with babies but now travel together. The leader of this travel friend group is so bossy and calls all the shots. She is opinionated and not flexible so the rest of us have to just follow everything she does. She picks the dates, location, activities, food. It used to be fun to escape and get a break but now i dread these trips with her. I like the other people in the friend group.

Would you continue to go to see the other friends?[/quote]

Need more info.  Are you speaking up and what's happening?  Is she unlikeable (to you) during the trip?

You offer to plan the trip.  It's a lot of work to plan trips and doing it by committee makes it 10x more work.  You're riding her free labor and probably all of you have been doing it a while.  So maybe she's just lost the niceties.  Or plan a trip and don't include her if you don't like her.[/quote]

Op here. We have been on several trips together. We used to have long text chains on activities, restaurants, lodging, etc. Now there is no discussion. She picks dates that work for her, books lodging and says she can always cancel later and then makes reservations just in case. I don’t think she wants other people’s inputs. She does not compromise.[/quote]

Bet those long texts were obnoxious and annoying. Probably better someone just took charge.[/quote]
