[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was on the fence about MBs suggested going away party for me. We have had our ups and downs and really aren't so close these days. I really just want to help DC to cope with my leaving so I said I would be honored. Since then I learned that the "party" is actually the monthly dinner party they have with their friends. I don't know anyone who will attend because its not in the neighborhood. Also, they are having the party at the pool. In all my years with the family I have turned down every invitation to the pool because I don't know how to swim and don't enjoy babysitting everyone else's drink while they swim. She should know this line by heart. More, I would ride with her so I can't leave when I am ready.

Am I obligated to still accept this invitation? How do I gracefully decline?[/quote]

You should really learn how to swim. I don't know how people become adults and never swim.[/quote]

I'm not the OP, but I have huge fears of water and have since I was a baby. [/quote]

Which is something that is probably inhibiting your life in some way. You're missing out on pools and swimming. Will you never get in a boat? Go to the ocean? You need to see a therapist.[/quote]

I go in boats almost every time the opportunity presents itself (which is fewer than a dozen times in my entire life). I don't ENJOY pools and swimming. That's like saying "but you're missing out on tuna salad!" when I say I hate tuna fish. I don't feel like I'm missing out at all. [/quote]
