I don't know, maybe I was the same way back then and I've just forgotten.<br /><br />I certainly hope your son gets himself booked on a flight soon. You are completely correct, they eventually learn - it just might be the hard way :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07138498345236080314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512432274194315579.post-19910300255039071292010-03-01T19:06:05.106-05:002010-03-01T19:06:05.106-05:00Jen, you know better than to expect communication ...Jen, you know better than to expect communication from anybody between the ages of 1 and 25, especially if they have a hold over you, like..being your children.<br /><br />I find pleading with mine is demeaning, but they reduce me to it sometimes. However, of late it has been pay-back time. For the first time in his life, my son has had to buy his own plane tickets. Over here, you get them cheaper, the sooner you book them. When they fly up to see me, I am always on the phone trying to get them to make their minds up about when they want to come, knowing that every day they delay, the price goes up.<br /><br />So I get, "Oh dad, I'll let you know in a day or two", and meanwhile the price of the ticket jumps £20.<br /><br />This week my son tried to book a flight of his own, dithered for two days, and was outraged that the price had gone up.<br /><br />They will learn.
