[QUOTE="Lil, post: 700254, member: 17309"] I know. I really do. I have a hard time disconnecting the impulse to do for him. I have realized that he asks for me to do a thing, but I do a THING. He asked me to reserve the hotel. Now, in my defense, I was trying to get him into a cheaper one, but it wasn't me paying for it. I did a ton of trip advisor research, checked the bus routes and nearby services, and called and talked to the hotel! Eventually son changed his mind and moved to a different, cheaper, hotel, which was good. But I should have done the reservation and let him learn the hard way to research more thoroughly. :oops: I DID tell him I was done though and to figure the rest out on his own. His response was, "I've got it covered." I'm sure he does. He won't starve or die of exposure. There are shelters and soup kitchens. He'll figure it out. I hate this. [/QUOTE]
