    My son is a toddler. Sometimes he has tantrums in public. It sucks! And although I'd prefer to not deal with them, the only way to make that happen would be to avoid taking him anywhere. I don't want him to be 7 or 8 or 10 and not know how to act in public. So, I soldier on occasionally being the mom everyone is looking at because my kid is screaming and flailing around. I would be failing as a mother and failing him if I just avoided all the hard parts of parenting. The fact that she can't deal with them is embarrassing.

    Didn't she admit to her secret birthday cruise eventually? In a live or something?

    Yeah, back in December during her live. That's why she's so brazen about announcing having a higher status than the kids. She doesn't have to lie anymore! What a weight off her shoulders!

    Jen always had issues with anything unpredictable, which is where some of her weird ways have come from (backups of backups, walking pharmacy, repetitive behaviour). Kids are, in lots of ways, a control freak's nightmare. It's no wonder her marriage imploded once she had to think about kids as well as herself.

    Am I misremembering or did the kids go on a Disney cruise with the real Ross fam? Wasn't that why she booked the first one, to do it before they did? Did I hallucinate that? If so, they are all gold.

    Poor Beefy Gene. She made Gold on completion of her last cruise. Well, the Circumstances are now gold, because they completed 5 cruises with the Gavelstun sailing. She is gonna need 4 more before she is once again better than the Circumstances. Doing it as Concierge, no discounts on those cabins, ever. At the port there might be upgrades, but I doubt it. She will be paying for 2 people in the cabin, because that is what they do. Of course, she eats enough for 3 adults, I was surprised she did not order at least TWO! aps and TWO! entrées at each meal. Fuel, yanno. She could skip the extra desserts as there are sweet treats, free self serve, and room service 24/7 most days. And as she has admitted, she took full advantage.

    Her pay me to allow you to listen to my self indulgent talk, my verbal diary as I call it friends, some of them must be catching on. Most of them are too stupid to realize they are just giving her pocket change.

    Maybe you've eaten to much poo poo covered candy. I don't think D&T took them on a cruise, they were at a resort in Mexico.

    Who takes a delicate flaky plain crossiant on a hike? Take a few granola bars just in case.

    Ah, yes. The cruise she wouldn't admit to for the longest time, during which she felt very celebrated with her cheese cart.

    F.R.E.A.K!!!!!

    Most cruise lines have special children's activities, not just Disney, not Disney prices either.

    And all cruise lines make guests feel special. That's part of the cruise experience and a way the employees get extra (well deserved) tips. She's been on one cruise line obsessively so she has nothing to compare it to. She could be cruising different lines every time she's free of babysitting duties instead of walking around alone eating croissants. She's doing rich lady all wrong.

    Beefy doesn't do marathons outside of Disney. She doesn't do theme parks besides Disney (I'm not surprised as she's not interested in the essence of the theme park experience - rides). She doesn't even do jewellery that's not Disney these days... :snickering: I see no reason for her to cruise besides the Disney Cruise Line.

    She's not even a big Disney fan. She's definitely not very knowledgeable when it comes to Disney. I'd argue she doesn't even make the average mark. It's just a safe brand to her and as other Bakers have pointed out in this thread: she doesn't like feeling unsettled. That's why she does Disney everything. It's not Disney itself, it's the bubble of personal comfort she has built around Disney since meeting Don. She's untethered without a personal support system (especially now that she's publicly naming and shaming her parents and only sibling) so she's left with Disney.

    I'd pity her if she wasn't so horrible (but she is, she truly is). I will never ever shame or judge a friend of mine who's very into Disney but was orphaned in her teens, lost her remaining grandparent in her twenties, is quite introverted and shy. I get why she's so enthusiastic about her Disney park days. I'm always grateful when she texts me to see if I want to watch the newest Disney movie at the cinema with her. It's a safe bubble in which a happier part of her life resides. She's not hurting anyone. She's been in therapy for years. She's managing life really well (Masters degree, full-time job, own place, good hygiene, etc.). She just needs her dose of Disney comfort every once in a while. It's absolutely not the same for Gene. I wouldn't dare to compare their Disney experiences.

    She thinks she's quirky-cute but she is lame-fugly.
