dsmith Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I have to pick up my dog from the boarding facility before noon to avoid being charged for another day. My fil insists on coming with me for some reason. I told him I want to leave at 10:15 the latest, as I have never been there and if I'm not careful I may end up in an area that is infested wtih drug dealers, etc. I'm not comfortable when I'm going somewhere new so I always leave plenty of time in case I get lost. (Which I manage even with my GPS, lol!) I'm already outside of my comfort zone and now it is being pushed even further outside of it. He is still eating breakfast... I guess I have to consider this a lesson in patience.:tongue_smilie:Ok, vent over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 You need to say something like, "I'm sorry you won't be able to come with me. I must leave now. I'll see you when I get back." Then simply get your keys and leave. If he gets angry it is his problem and as it is your dh's dad let your dh deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmith Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Well, I came close to leaving without him, but he managed to finish before my breaking point. I got there about 10 minutes before noon, and didn't get lost, thank goodness! And now I'm happy to have my dog home. I hate having to board him!!
