[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]See if you can start to convince them to buy tickets for events like cirque du soliel, a family membership to the aquarium, a ballet class. Start planting the ideas earlier next year “oh Larla loved our trip to the aquarium, did you know it’s super expensive nowadays? I wish we could go more often. I should look into the membership.” [/quote] That is way too passive. Just be direct.[/quote] Op said that they pleaded with them to be reasonable, sounds like they already did direct. If the relatives think it’s their own idea then they’ll be more likely to do it. [/quote] The way it is phrased though is like the parent is going to get it. You want an aquarium membership? Use those words.[/quote]
