* We decided to load everyone in the car, go to McD’s then pick up the 10 yr old’s sleepover friend and drop the two of them at the grandmother’s…we actually loaded everyone in the car, picked up the 10 yr old’s sleepover friend, had to stop the car once because the 13 yr old wasn’t the center of attention and decided he needed to threaten to make himself throwup. This angered me and changed the tone in the car from fun and jovial to tense and unpleasant the rest of the trip despite many efforts to turn it around again. Found out the friend doesn’t eat meat but Burger King was ok. Drove through for food. Dropped the girls off with the grandmother and returned home where the family is now watching Fantasia (on sale while supplies last then not for another 7 years).
