For the most part I (36f) make family friendly plans, we go out earlier in the day, I go to kid friendly restaurants, or even most of the time hang out at their house. But sometimes I want to make real plans ex going to the movies, going to a town festival, that require planning.
Every day my friend asks her kid what they want to do & they pick things like zoo, museum, amusement park etc.
Recently when asking about a family friendly town festival we already had on the calendar she started saying "we'll see because I have to ask him what he wants to do after his nap & sometimes he wants to etc…".
I'm sorry but as a childless adult who has been nothing but accommodating I don't understand. I did not pick where I wanted to go every day as a child, sure we went to the park here & there but my parents weren't cancelling their plans because I didn't feel like going. I'm just wondering if I'm out of touch or she is?
