Road trip advice?

Post Reply New Topic

In early May, other bridesmaids and I are taking my sister to Jasper, Alberta as a sort of pre-bachelorette party thing. Since it's only a few hours away, we're driving but I'm not sure I can handle that long in a car with four other people. My sister has no problem with us taking two cars so I don't have to worry about being crowded (I have this HUGE thing against touch) but I'm not sure that's fair to my sister to have us all separated because the maid of honor can't handle having someone up against her for the duration of the trip. Our dad suggested renting a vehicle large enough but I'm not sure if financially that makes sense. I'm sure the bridesmaids would be understanding (they have taken my Asperger's into account for the bridal shower and the actual bachelorette) but it isn't really fair for them to have to make adjustments for me.
I could really use some advice here

Why should people not make adjustments for you?
Are you not an important person to your sister and others?
Is it fair that you should suffer when others will not?

Allow others to care for you.
It actually gives people joy to provide comfort for others.

Just ride in the front passenger seat.

It's not a big deal to ask for a second car, actually is quite a small matter. To do something out of your confortable zone (party) is big for you, so to ask for something so small it's actually quite understandable.

If nobody else has a problem with it, why would it matter? I'm sure some of them would even appreciate the extra room! I think your sister would regret it more if you didn't go. They're more than happy to make adjustments, and if they couldn't afford it they wouldn't suggest it.
