[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plus... I thought it was too dangerous to walk anywhere because of the lack of sidewalks... yet here was no traffic because it was so isolated that it was boring... so how could it have been dangerous? [/quote]

I am not German (not that it matters but another one of your 100% assertive assumptions I suppose).

I said it was too dangerous to walk with a baby, because while there is no heavy traffic there are still cars coming every now and again (nothing about being aghast at the lack of sidewalks) and I wouldn’t risk it. Even if I did risk it, it would be a bit pointless when there is effectively nowhere to walk to, the nearest beach being a 3 hours walk and the Main Street of the village 1h20 (I did walk to it on my free time, not that you get much enjoyment of walking to the same souvenir shop and eating place all the time and needing 3 hours round trip for it).

Anyhow I made  my point for the OP (!), that while AP should be expected to be flexible and put up with going to somewhere that is boring/not to their liking every now and then, I think it would be unfair to ask her to go to someone they know she doesn’t enjoy TWICE a month for the 3 hours they only need her to work for and forcing her to spend two of her weekends off doing nothing/stuff she doesn’t want to do.  I think flexibility works both ways and benefits everyone.
