What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

Dealing with folks who are feeling judged is tough.  I have had a few small run ins like this.  

I generally try to re-frame my thinking about it as: They are judging themselves and I am only a prop in their internal play. It is truly not about me.

That helps in the casual interaction but to vacation with someone doing that would likely end up in someone losing an eye so I might reconsider a trip there too if I were you.

Hope you have a fantastic day today!

Just look ato it as a wonderful learning experience that he may never have another chance to do. That always helped me when my boys had long distance trips. My youngest wentry to Costa Rica a year ago and got to zip line through the rainforest canopy. I can't even imagine it! His travels and experiences really helped him shape his job and career interests so he could go out of college knowing what he wanted to do with his life.

My daughter got to go to Costa Rica about a year ago, too, Karen!  She got to zip-line, too!  What wonderful experiences kids get to have these days!

This is the detailed itinerary, and I'm really jealous and want to go with him!

Do you think we could all fit in his suitcases? 

I can't believe she said that, totally not cool. I think you are wise to allow a cooling off period and then discussing with you hubby too. Sending hugs your way.

I think the article I posted hit a little too close to home for her and she reacted badly.  I'm just dreading going to visit now, but will go if that is really what hubby wants.  

When I have a few mins I am going to have to go read the article on FB. I didn't get a chance to read it last night.

Uh oh.  Was it the article on sugar that I posted on FB that caused the woman to go off the deep end?

Yeah! Thanks a lot! Hehe, just teasing.  It was a good article.
