Obviously, she loves her cat, lol. Maybe you could show her that nothing will happen to the cat while she is gone, and that it will taken care of. Are you going to put it in a pound or clinic while you are away? or have someone take care of it for you? If you ease her mind about that, then I think you will find that she isn't as much as a brat as you might think.

you're right she's not really a brat. lol i was just irritated when i wrote that. i'm glad she loves her pets. she's only 10 and of course it's a big deal to her. we're going to board them at the vet's. (we have 3 cats and it's going to cost a fortune!)

i'm sure she'll have a good time once we get there. 3nodding

I'm positive that she will have a blast. As old as I am now, I still remember going when I was 12. Something that I am bursting with pride over is that my dad (bless his soul, he's passed on now) worked there when it was new. He built the domes on Cinderella's castle and also worked on the mechanics in the little people displayed in the It's A Small World ride. My dad was something else, let me tell ya and I'm so proud of his accomplishments. I miss him every day.

I need to make a correction on this post... My dad worked at Disney World in Florida, not Disneyland in California lol

You spoil your kid, of course from time to time she will be a brat.

i don't have kids, so i'm not sure if this would work on your end, but, if I were your daughter and was a brat, i would want my parents to make sure to find my cat a babysitter so I feel like I could leave the cat safely without leaving it home alone for 5 days and being really concerned and sad about it....maybe get one of her friends or your family member to watch the cat!...make it a memorable experience for her. Have her sign a list of cat duties for your family/friends to check off so when she gets home she will know that all the tasks were completed. Or have them send cute pictures of them playing with the cat while you guys are on vacation. biggrin that would be cool!! She's probably just scared the leave it alone. I take it she is a huge animal lover. haha..I just find a babysitter for my dog!

I can't name how many times I missed out on a vacation because I couldn't bear to leave my dog alone with anyone. I did that once and he had pus wounds on his neck and butt. now I don't think I can ever leave him behind

am i the only one with an ungrateful child?
don't get me wrong, i love my daughter more than anything, but...

what a brat!

this summer my husband and i are taking her to Disneyland, and she doesn't want to go. and do you know why? because she doesn't want to leave HER CAT!!!

$1500, five day vacation to the happiest fricking place on earth, and she doesn't want to go. granted, it's a 16 hour, 1400 mile drive, in a rented minivan with seven people, but still. it's Disneyland.

we told her she's going to have fun whether she likes it or not. mad

If I may, I studied psychology fairly heavily (never finished) and have plenty of my own childhood experiences to speak from where this seems like something I would have done as well so I wanted to throw my own two cents in there.

Does she have any depression issues? This is a very common thing when one is depressed but depressed for no reason, they get self destructive tendancies.

I remember when I was younger, shortly after my parents divorced. My dad asked me if I wanted to go play putt-putt. Putt-putt was my end-all-be-all. It was my zen. I was so happy he asked me. Then, I looked at him and yelled, "no!" But that wasn't the end of it. I yelled no and then destroyed my room at of anger. I had no reason to be depressed, and yet I was, so I gave myself a reason. Try to make sure she's not doing that. Be there for her. Have a sit down, go do something she enjoys and see if you can get to the bottom of this.
