So ever since I can remember my parents have always given me a Valentine's gift. They usually asked me what I want for that gift sometime in October so that they can get it while planning for Christmas gifts. This year I really wanted a trip for me and DH to Jamaica. I've been talking to my mom about it nonstop for the past few months and my dad had agreed that it shouldn't be a problem. Now when the trip is a month away and we've both already requested 11 days off of work my parents told me that they are no longer wanting to pay for the whole trip. There reason is that since they paid for DH and I to go on our family Christmas cruise (which the do every year) they only want to pay for half of the trip or either send us on a trip to Cozumel instead.
I'm really pissed since I was excited about this trip for months and I already had pictured how our whole vacation would be. I also thought it would be a great way to celebrate that we are ttc again. Now my parents are trying to be cheap and send us to Cozumel (where I've gone tons of times) just so they don't have to pay for a hotel since they have a timeshare there. I don't want to go to Cozumel and I feel this is really unfair since they knew that I wanted to go to Jamaica and how much it would cost. I'm so upset, I cried myself to sleep last night in DH's arms. I called my mom this morning and told her that if I can't get the trip I want I don't want to go anywhere or to receive another Valentine's gift from them ever again. My mom partially understands how I feel so she said she would try to get my dad to reconsider. just typing this up is making me tear up again so I guess I'll just stop here
Re: Annoyed with my parents (NBR)
I didn't even read the second paragraph but WTF. You sound like an ungrateful snot.
ETA: I read the second part and you sound even more ungrateful. A Valentine's Day Gift? From your parents? Seriously? All the trips? Ugh- and now that I see how pissed off I got from reading a bump post- it's time to step away from the computer.

I really hope this is a joke--if not, you're a spoiled brat. Please go cry somewhere else.
edt. punctuation fix.
You are the epitome of spoiled. I would kill to have a paid vacation EVER and the second that gravy train stops, you're not going to see me crying about it.
Grow up.
This is a Valentines day gift. Who says they have to give you a damn thing?

I like science. Here's proof.
SERIOUSLY???? I'm sorry, but someone needs to pull up her big girl panties and learn that not everyone gets life handed to them on a platter. I'd LOVE to go on a vacation, even Las Vegas (which I've been to more times than I'd like to admit) but it's just not in the budget. You should be thankful your parents are willing to pay for any of your vacation. Maybe they are starting to realize that you need to learn to take care of yourself.

I REALLY hope this is MUD. If not, you sound like a very big brat. My parents have never ever sent me on a trip and you're complaining that they aren't sending you on the one you want, and you've been to Cozumel "tons of times" and that isn't good enough for you?
I was just thinking the other day, wondering how long it will be before I can afford to send my DAD on a trip as a thank you for all of the ways he has helped me over the years (for paying for things like my downpayment on my house and grad school until I could pay him back)......if you do get KU soon, I really hope your kid isn't an ungrateful brat like you are.
And FYI, nobody wants to hear how you cried yourself to sleep over a vacation, some of us have real problems to cry over.

here's a novel and mature idea... why don't you grow the eff up and thank you parents for all the "love" they've bestowed on you for years and treat them to a trip for Valentines day.
And anyway - I think if you want an elaborate trip for you and your DH as a couple for V-Day, time for you and your DH to earn and pay for it together.

OMG I totally feel for you! I know how much I hate it when my parents don't spend thousands on me for each and every holiday including hallmark holidays. You should just call the cops and make a report cause this is emotional abuse!!!!
Basically what I'm trying to say is- if this is real, go F**K yourself you ungrateful snob! And have fun in cozumel... drink lots of tap water it's good for TTC!
I have a wonderful way for you and DH to take the trip you want...PAY FOR IT YOURSELVES!!!

My advice, stop making up things! Pretty simple I think.
All I can hear in my head is Veruca Salt saying, "If I don't get what I'm after, I'm going to SCREAM."
You are one spoiled little brat. Waahhh, my mommy's only willing to send me to Cozumel. My husband and I have NEVER been on vacation, the entire 2 1/2 years we've been married. If my mom or my in-laws wanted to send me to Cozumel, I would thank them with tears in my eyes. Get over yourself.
GM - you summed up exactly what I was thinking on all those points.
oh, and the "they lied to me thing".... notice she used it on one of those previous threads about her DH wanting to put off TTC. She also said she felt lied to on that one. Grow up, brat. People are allowed to change their minds. I think next time, OP, you should have a your parents sign a letter stating that they will give you the vacation of your dreams and have it notarized. That way you can sue when they break your contract.

are you f*cking KIDDING me?????? wow wow wow.... speechless!
You should just stop trying to explain yourself. There is nothing you can say that will make you sound like anything but a spoiled rotten brat. If my parents gave me a gift like that I would be so grateful. I can't even imagine reacting the way you are. Period.

1.) Financially helping out and paying for elaborate vacations are two different things entirely. (and not even to mention they paid for your cruise LESS THAN A MONTH AGO!) You are ungrateful and selfish.
2.) The fact that you can actually type that out and not feel like a megatwat speaks for itself.
WTF is wrong with you???? Do you know how lucky you are to have parents that can pay for a vacation for you at all??? u reallly need to not post here again and move on ......
Seriously????? How old are you?!
if you are old enough to be married and ttc then you are old enough to pay for your own vacation. and if your parents are fortunate enough to be able to pay for not only one but two trips for you and your dh than be greatful!
if my parents ever offered to give dh and i a vacation i would be kissing their feet however i would refuse their offer! dh and i are adults and can pay for our self! you should be taking your parents on a trip.
i dont even let my parents pay for lunch out of respect and gratitude for everything they have ever done for me!
you really need to rethink your priorities and grow up! spoiled whinny brat is not pretty on anyone and you really seem ugly right now.
Ha. Yes, I am sure Chancie is jealous. Don't we all wish we could be worthless and have our parents support us our whole adult lives?? And then cry about it when they cut you off? Very mature
