[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dream of shopping in Paris? Really.  Shopping in Paris is not that much different then shopping in other major cities she will be visiting (well, maybe not Brussels if that's on your itinerary).  Skipping a visit with family because of this sends a really bad message to your kid.  When she's older, you might be on the receiving end of this behavior.  Set a good example![/quote]

We are longtime expats, and have lived in Eastern Europe for 5 years and Western Europe for 10 years.

OP, there is nothing your daughter will buy in Paris that she cannot easily find in the US.  In addition, there is a reason many Parisians...leave Paris in the summer.  It will be hot and crowded.  Summer is not the best time to go to Paris.  Yet you MUST cram in a day of "shopping in Paris!" instead of making time to see your brother who wants to COME TO YOU.

You sound so shallow and selfish and unsophisticated.

Buzz off! If you are a long term expat from Eastern Europe then I am the King of Sweden. You are clearly the triggered poster who further up the thread was yelling in all caps and constantly reposting. Leave the OP alone! We understand that you are struggling with mental health issues and probably triggered that someone doesn’t visit you. This is not the same as your situation. OP and her brother will see each other a month later at their parents house. OP and her daughter will enjoy Europe doing the things they enjoy as a last trip before DD goes off to college. I’m guessing you might not have children or you are a boomer that didn’t take your graduating kid on a big trip before college or you would understand.[/quote]
