They always take my idea and then change it at the last minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-my-family-drives-me-crazy-ugh#post-1087610 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:00:11 +0000 T-Mom 1087610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I know how this goes too... The most responsible party always gets stuck with the grunt work! My in laws even asked me to schedule the family vacation in 2014, and this was 2012.. Thankfully two sister in laws are now pregnant so I don't think we'll be doing a family vaca anymore whew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-my-family-drives-me-crazy-ugh#post-1087573 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:36:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 1087573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha we were literally just talking about this! I asked Dh if we didn't make the plans for Christmas, what would happen? Nothing? That's his side. My family actually makes plans and takes turns taking the lead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-my-family-drives-me-crazy-ugh#post-1087563 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:27:55 +0000 mrsbookworm 1087563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family usually counts on me to make the plans as well. Otherwise, nothing ever happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-my-family-drives-me-crazy-ugh#post-1087542 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:10:49 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1087542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like a total pain. I agree with just going with the t-5 days date. You never know - it could work, or you have a "get out of family dinner free" card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-my-family-drives-me-crazy-ugh#post-1087530 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:04:38 +0000 chopsuey 1087530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's pretty easy getting my family together, but book the dinner 5 days before you're due! Hopefully baby will stay put! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-my-family-drives-me-crazy-ugh#post-1087517 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 18:58:09 +0000 Rubies 1087517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family (parents and older brother) always resort to me having to plan family dinners and birthday celebrations. My parents will call me, run ideas by me then tell me to call my brother to run it by him. Then I run it by my brother, he tells me his thoughts and then gets me to call my parents back. Then when plans get changed, they all call me and make me figure everything out! Then they tell ME to call the resto to make reservations! It drives me up the wall! </p> <p>We're in the midst of trying to organize a dinner for my parents' birthdays (mom and dad are both in September) but no one can seem to agree on a date. The only date that works for ALL is 5 days before I'm due! Uh, hello!?!?!?!?</p> <p>Anyone else the one in charge of plans-making? Anyone else losing their minds with indecisiveness? </p>
