[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha! OMG! So useless, like my ILS! They came to my wedding, to their son, and we took a train from one capital to the other, and then I got them a sleeping car, explained that it will be crazy busy and we have to be ready to leave the train half an hour before, my country was in huge economic crisis at that time, people swarming the train.... and they are SLEEPING when the train is about to leave for Romania! It was like taking care of the babies, they left early morning on my wedding night!!! And even though my cousin was there, took them, took care of everything, to the detail, they called us some 30 times at the hotel! And FIL brought two suitcases of food, that he didn't eat at all, and took it BACK! After seeing how bad my country was and that stores were empty(Balkan War.) Never, ever, ever, travel anywhere with your ILS. Now, my parents used to travel around Europe, but they don't speak English, and honest to God, my dad was able to drive and find his way, and my mom did the same exact thing your ILS did here. Somehow this same woman who vacationed in Greece was unable to go across the street unless I held her hand, just about! Yes, any travel involving parents is anathema to me! My mom got lost in our two street suburb! The only way to ever take older people anywhere is exactly how tourists from Asia do it. I am not kidding, rope around them, huge scarf above, every single step with a tour guide. What were you thinking?[/quote]

So ... totally OT, but does anyone's mom still teach basic manners? You know, like: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.

If it's any consolation, Romanian War Bride, you probably won't have to worry about your in-laws wanting to repeat the experience of international travel with you.
