This secret is killing me!

I can't take it much longer! Not telling my son about his birthday trip is getting harder by the day. I guess I didn't know what to expect but I didn't think it would be so difficult.

He has asked about going to WDW almost every day for the last 2 weeks. He is in serious denial and doesn't want to believe that we aren't going. He even came up with a plan to help pay for our trip--a bake sale. He wants to see brownies for $5 each and charge our company for each one they eat.

I have gotten this far, I can't blow it now but it's soooo hard.

DON'T do it!!!! You ONLY have @ 40 days left! That's nothing compared to how long you have kept the secret so far......Just think of Nathan's face when he realizes he is in Disney and it was a total surprise! THAT will be priceless - WE are here for you when you are weak - don't worry!

That's all that's keeping me going! I can't wait to see his face when we finally tell him. I still don't know how we are going to tell him. We are thinking about waiting until we get to the airport but I don't know yet.

Re: This secret is killing me!

Just a thought, what about letting him think he changed your mind? I mean let him set up a Lemonade stand or something and tell him if he can earn $50 before [your depature date] then you'll do it.

Re: This secret is killing me!

that's a cute idea, Cavey....it will forever be the trip that he sold lemonade to go on! HAHA!

That sort of takes away the whole "birthday surprise" angle they wre going for...


:c)

YOu can do it, Steph! Be strong - if you want him to be surprised, then wait!

Just do the whole boring trip thing.. try Howe Caverns in upstate NY.. that was the best trip of my whole life. Ha. Right. Walking through a 52 degree cave is NOT my idea of a fun vacation.

Re: This secret is killing me!

Hang in there! It will be worth it! Just thru a surprise bday party for my DH and he had no clue. It was a priceless moment! One suggestion...try to record the moment when you tell him so you can have his expression! Did that when my DH walked in the room of the party. We still replay it and relive the moment!

I'm just going to pretend you did NOT dis' on caves. Walking through a 52 degree cave IS my idea of a fun vacation

Okay, I've got it out of my system, and I have chosen to forgive you rather than hire Boss Mouse to eliminate you.

We call my son a little Trump. He loves money and can make and save any amount of money. I took him to a junior high dance this fall and he came home with $14.00. He sat at the soda table and the kids either gave him quarters or he told them they needed to tip him if they wanted a soda and they DID IT! He has close to $1,500 that he's saved from birthdays, allowance, and holidays. He could almost pay for our trip if he was willing to part with his money.

That's what I have to do! My DH is only good for so many hours of Disney talk and then he tunes me out.

Re: This secret is killing me!

Deep breath, tell someone else. Go out and talk to any stranger if you must, but don't let Nathan know. Noooooooo

You can do it.
