So Melissa told me I needed to chime in on...THE TALK! (bum bum bum) Well, by this point in the trip I was really fed up. I had brushed everything off so far, trying not to read too deep into it but I just couldn't do it anymore.

I remember we were getting ready to FP Everest and the time came to enter the line. Kevin looks at me and goes, "Well who's gonna stay with Audrey?" My flipping head almost exploded!!! I looked at him and said, "We're not, she's not our kid!" I wanted to follow it up with 'the bird' but I thought flipping someone off that is two feet in-front of you while standing outside the FP Everest line wouldn't have looked too good...but it would have felt good. And that's the vibe I got from them the whole trip, 'watch my child while I do what I want to do.' They expected all of Disney World and the Loflin's to bend over backwards so they could enjoy themselves. What they couldn't realize was that it was all in their hands, it was up to them to start enjoying the trip. And I want you to know that I love watching Audrey, she's like a daughter to me. I just don't like being expected to do something that is a personal favor.

So I guess that's where the talk started. My favorite thing to do at Disney is to enjoy the resort, I love walking to the foodcourt to fill up the bottomless mug. So, as always, Kevin's a#$ was in the smoking area near the foodcourt so I took the alone time to speak my mind. I said, "Look, we need to talk." I pretty much said that their attitude was bringing us both down and that I wasn't going to waste my money and time on a vacation like this. I had had enough. I think he started to whine back about how I had agreed to watch Audrey while they went on rides, that just pissed me off. What a jerk. I told him I didn't mind but it shouldn't be expected, I'm not their babysitter. Sorry they couldn't bring their parents along for the trip but I wasn't going to play that part. So I cut the talk short by saying something like, look...if it means we go our separate ways for the rest of the trip then that's what it means, just stop being a jerk and all will be fine. I think it ended with a hug, I don't know.
