[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s easy. Tell them without giving too many details. Grandma: it’s getting late. What are your vacation plans. You: honestly, we planned it a while ago but this always turns into an argument so I’ve been avoiding the topic. Grandma: upset, guilt…. You: from now on we are going on vacation alone. This is why I didn’t want to have this conversation. I need to go now. Good bye. Hang up. [/quote] This script is intentionally baiting grandma to bring on the guilting etc. Good grief. Just say you're going, OP, and leave out the "this always turns into an argument so I've been avoiding the topic." That is practically begging your mom to engage with you and start arguing. I think this PP wants to ensure a rift occurs. Just announce with a smile and don't engage like this, or at all.[/quote]
