Originally Posted By WDWdreamin Well, birthdays are a good reason to celebrate with family. I don't know about centre parks, but I suppose it will be fun. I went to Prague once with my parents and we really enjoyed it. Have you been before? I just found out today that I can have the time off in July - to spend in Hawaii at the family reunion (parents paying!!!).

It's on of the places on my really want to see list. www.centreparcs.co.uk It's really relaxing there are no cars allowed on site, a great swimming complex, nice restaurants, lots of things to do etc. Not been to Prague before, we have been meaning to go for a while, really looking forward to it

Originally Posted By smedley I'll try to stay awake lol. Board game night sounds like a lot of fun. I am not so much sure it's worse, I am thinking the brother told her the words, she didn't really understand them and just picked a whole bunch of numbers to send them to on the phone? I can't imagine it was aimed directly at you..
Originally Posted By ShivaThDestroyer ophellia, I could be wrong but there is little doubt in my mind that the daughter sent this. C'mon, how many 5 year olds would even know that ur = you're in texting let alone the other steps involved in sending a tech? Unfortunately, many adult children see a love interest in their parent's lives as the parent either being disloyal to a divorced or deceased spouse or as a threat to their affections or financial interests. There's not much you can do about it without risking your boyfriend being forced to take sides. By the same token, he should not be blind to the potential animosity of his daughter and how it affects your relationship with him. {{{ophellia}}}
Originally Posted By ShivaThDestroyer smeds, I would hope it was just little ones fooling around but, I've see quite a bit of similar behavior over the years, especially with adult children who are accustomed to receiving regular handouts from a parent or, when the parent in elderly, as a potential loss in their inheritance. With younger children, they usually don't want anyone trying to "replace" Mom or Dad and often come around once they realize that "the significant other" isn't trying to do that. There aren't enough facts here for any indication of what might be going on. I really hope I'm wrong, I much prefer to look at the world as a glass half full too.

Originally Posted By ophellia thanks guys! well who knows?

Goodness, BIG wind storm here in the last 2 days...amazing the power's still on!
