[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wrote that long post about my ILS in Europe... and then I saw OP's updates! You are nasty, even when my ILS were needy and all, we still did everything and made sure they had a nice time. I was writing more in good humor because the whole thing was funny. And you are yelling about some busses and cabs? Are you seriously expecting your ILS to figure out the bus system in London? I regret posting my reply now, I did it in fun, good natured way. OP, you are seriously nasty![/quote]

OP here. I’m confused because I don’t think I gave off that impression. I’m not expecting them to figure out the busses; I was hoping they’d ask, for example, “what street are you looking for” and try to look around. I have scheduled out everything to their specifications. I scheduled tea for them. I tried to do everything to make this nice for them. We have had more burgers than I can count because it’s what they want to eat.[/quote]

If you're going to resent them for doing stuff for them, then stop.  Did they ask to do everything to make the trip nice for them?  Did they ask you to schedule out everything to their specifications?  Even if they did, and you did it because you expected something from them, which they never agreed to doing, then you put yourself in this situation.  Stop doing things for them if you're going to resent them for not doing things in return.  You know they are not good travelers so why do you expect them to help you? [/quote]
