I’m definitely the planner too. When they were younger (middle school/high school) I was the mean mom who would make them research attractions and make them write me a few paragraph paper on it.
Now I try to just send them a list of places I’ve found and ask them to rank them for me. Or do research on their own!!! After nagging, I usually can get them to rank them. I do know the kinds of things they like to do at this point, so it’s not that difficult. I make sure that everyone has something to look forward to.
But now that we’ve started to add girlfriends to the mix, it’s changing again. I don’t know to do something they hate or are afraid of. Thus, more input is needed.
Edit: what are we doing today? Refer to the color coded iternary that I made up and texted/emailed all of you
