I’m glad she enjoyed it! EV traveling the world or even throughout the US would be a really good experience for her in my opinion. She seems unsure about college and wants to stay at home and do it online if she does but maybe she’d be better off taking a gap year and exploring the world on her own. She would grow and mature SO much as a person and just become more worldly. It would give her time on her own to really discover who she is outside of being a daughter and sister, outside of the Rich house. Kendal would never allow it nor do I think EV would have the nerve to do it. It’s a shame though; I did so much travel as a kid growing up and it taught me a lot.Swiss Miss wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 11:26 pm Obviously the thumbnail showing high drama on Evie’s first flight is bull! Because she enjoyed the flight. I must say I am flabbergasted at the sheer number of people in the comments who claim to have never flown before or are nervous on a flight. And then Kendal saying she…a grown ass Middle Aged Woman….would be too nervous to get on a flight alone. I also have no idea how she can be sooooooo proud of Evie just for getting on a plane.
I am hoping so much that this trip is the starting to point for Evie to realise there are so many places to explore beyond Disney. She doesn’t even have to leave the country. But god forbid if she were to get a passport and travel the world! Wouldn’t that be a kick in the teeth for Kendal! Little Evie, her best buddy, doing things without HER!
I couldn’t believe the people who were afraid either! It’s really not a big deal, some people fly every day and they’re a-okay! I flew alone at 14 for the first time to and from another country. I understand being proud in a way just because of the lack of life experience EV has but not *that* level of proud. Planes are actually pretty safe and we only really hear about plane crashes because they don’t happen very often. Kendal being too afraid to fly doesn’t surprise me. She has a lot of fear and anxiety for someone who acts as though she’s so confident and self assured. Her not be willing to fly and just going to Disney all the time instead is another example of how her fear is keeping her kids close by and dependent by not allowing them to have these travel experiences they could be having but also by projecting those fears onto her kids. The closest her kids are going to get to seeing the world while living under their roof is walking around the world showcase at Epcot.
