Re: road trip but with issues

@Roshni

we fear this will reuin whole trip. as my dad will get upset if she doesnt go. i am planning to tell her to arrange another time for her trip not withus. But her without offending her.
she wanted to buy but her husband wouldnt. we dont know wat to do. we never asked them to come with us.

Yeh koi masla hai?

1. Her husband refused to buy the tickets. End of story!

2. You never even asked them to come with you. They were not invited in the first place. So, why get so worried?

3. Yes, her and husband and bachay can stay at home. They are adults…and they’ll be fine. They’ll be together as a family…and will find a way to pass their time.

See, this is the problem. We tend to get so worried about what others think…that we go over board in trying to fix things (example: thinking of paying for this family). Considering how expensive theme part tickets are…how many people would be willing to do that? Moreover…it’s often funny how the people we go to such lengths for…won’t show the same consideration in the future. I wouldn’t be surprised…if…had you been in their position…this aunti and her husband may not have paid for your tickets, let alone think about it. No, I’m not saying that you should do good deeds to expect something in return…but just saying…that stuff like this often happens.

4. Kya pata…if you and the other members of your traveling group…were to pay for this family’s tickets…maybe they might feel a bit “sharminda” or awkward during the tip. Some people can feel that way…and so it’s better to just respect their plans/decision of staying home.

5. If you feel THAT worried…then you can even buy rinky-dink souvenirs from the theme-park as small gifts for the kids. That’s a kind (although not required) gesture. It can alleviate your tension.
