Some kids are just never thankful. 
Teenager or not, Sissy's behavoir is unacceptable, 
and I hope her parents hear about it. I have a 14 year old, and she would never in a million years act like that. 
thank you.
thank you for reading it all.Thanks for sharing your pix, your story and your time. I have enjoyed your TR. I hope to watch the slide shows later. DH is so not a DisneyAddict (unlike myself)He would never understand the infatuation of my sitting here for 2 hours listening to music and viewing pix.
I understand.it was a hassle.The security must have been very tight on that day. Sounds like it was a hassle. You feel safer when you see the security, but you wonder if it really helps. I am so very sorry for you to endure the nasty comments from Sissy.It must've really hurt your feelings. How ungrateful can you be?
I'm sure Tiny did as well! Thanks for sharing your vacation with us!
thank you and thank you for coming over to the pre tr.Sad to see this ending but glad to know you and Biff are returning for some adult time! Enjoying the Pre-Trip BTW
If she said it to me earlier she would have been home earlier.Scott.
I don't even know what to say. That's horrible what Sissy said. I owuld have ossed her on a plane, too. she's old enough to be an "unaccompanied minor", and her mom could have picked her up.
I'm glad Jake seemed so grateful. 1 out of three, anyway.
Weird about the kids giving away the thing you bought them. Maybe they thought their aunt would not accept them?? Maybe they were SUPPOSED to get stuff for others, and only go things for themselves? I have no excuse for them. You're right. It was tacky.
Honestly, I would tell their parents about the problems. I'm glad the rest of your trip went well.
thank you. it was very nice.Great trip report Scott! You guys had a wonderful trip and I'm sorry Sissy had such an attiude.
Thank you for sharing your TR with us, I'm looking forward to your final thoughts.
thank you.
thank you.
me too.I hate endings
Be back tomorrow with comments.
the flight to WV was a trip.Scott, that sounds like the return trip from "you know what"... I think 10 days with someone else's children, spending a FORTUNE on them, was above and beyond any type of generosity and you deserve your angel wings!
I'm glad Jake seemed to appreciate and enjoy your kindness. I think Tiny did, too.. but she was probably right about 10 days being a little long for her to be away from home. (especially after eating all those hot dogs... LOL)
Great trip report - looking forward to the next one!
thank you for reading.
Sorry that she was ungrateful. I would of been thanking you profusely! That darn TSA they just love to mess with bags. I swear mine gets opened everytime I fly. Minus our last disney trip. We almost had to check in at the airport too b/c one of our bags was way to heavy, but then we were allowed to redistribute to other suitcases and we were fine after that. Thank goodness. Sounds like you had a great trip and I've totally enjoyed reading your trippie! I'll be back to hear your final thoughts. I'm glad I got to finish reading this and comment on it before it got closed down. Thanks for all the wonderful words and pictures I've enjoyed every moment!
r u all in settled in at your VA home now?Whew...I just caught up all the way from page 210. My goodness you sure write a lot when one is away for almost three weeks. Lol. Not your fault I had to move to Va and stop at home in between all the moving madness. I love the fire work pictures from the p&pp very awesome! To bad you didn't get pics of the castle during the fireworks I've heard it looks really cool and spooky. I can't believe how Sissy was acting. Doesn't she know how lucky she was? If I got to stay in disney world for ten whole days you wouldn't be able to contain my excitement and you would probably want to hit me over the head with a baseball bat b/c I would be jumping off the walls and going on and on.
me too.
Be nice now. They came out with 250 page rule when I was at 306 pages. Nothing I could have done. Had I known prior to starting the report, I would have hurried things along.
No honestly!
And neither do I Scott.
I am bit by bit taking each niece and nephew on a trip and thankfully I have not run into anything like that
Thanks for asking
Thank you.Your trip report was great. I'm so sorry that your cousins (mostly Sissy) gave you a hard time. I cannot believe they gave away the souvenirs you bought them.
I learned a couple things from your tr.
1. 10 days alone with 3 kids is too long
2. Bring an adult along on every trip.
You must be so excited that it'll just be you and Biff on the next trip.
"P" asked me if I did for the earlier incidents. No I did not.
don't encourage him. he will get a big head.BUZZ< you really do have a great sense of humor don't you
And neither do I Scott.
Well I just read the last installments. I am speachless about Sissy!
So sorry Scott
At least Jake showed he was grateful and in the end you showed what a great big heart you have!
that is good.We are pretty settled in Va. I am still adjusting, but its not a big deal. I miss my family and my dog, but the first week is usually the worst. Our apartment is really nice and we live in a gated community so its pretty safe. Can't wait to hear your final comments!
i don't mean to pry but did you tell her parents? i know you told your uncle but i'm not clear if that's her dad or not. anyway, her parents need to know about her ungrateful attitude. i would be HORRIFIED if my child acted that way and didn't appreciate someone being so kind as to take them to the best place on earth!!!! I loved your no holds barred, honest commentary whether it was good bad or ugly, like Sissy's attitude It was incredibly generous of you to give your cousins that experience. Thanks for sharing your journey with us here on the DIS!
Now I need to hop on over to your pre-trippie! I'm jealous you get to go back so soon! I'm sure you and Biff will have a great trip. I would love to have a trip to the world with just DH and myself and leave the kids behind, but I don't think that'll happen for quite some time! And again, sorry about Akershus--my fault!
I too wondered that and forgot to ask.... I would be mortified if I found out my kid acted like that with someone who was taking them to such a special place... on their own dime!i can't believe sissy said that!
sorry to see your trip come to an end! i'm sure you're looking forward to the next one but without the attitude this time!
