[quote=Anonymous]OP, my mom is a lot like you. I can see her being annoyed we aren't "maxing out" the value of the trip by doing a 9am activity, or that we'll miss out on the waffles with blackberries if we get to breakfast late. She has a lot of anxiety that manifests around money and control. But 8:30 is a pretty reasonable time for a family with kids to arrive at breakfast and TBH they probably had to rush to achieve that. If my experience applies (it may not!), we often feel like we are making a lot of choices and concessions to try to make Mom happy, while she fixates on the few things that she isn't getting from us (total cooperation on mealtime, for example). In this case you're all together in a nice place, you're spending a lot of time together -- can you change your frame of mind to focus on that instead of the times not together? [/quote]
