Avoid frustration with options; Darren's Response
Dear Mom,
That is a good idea. I myself have noticed that if I have multiple things that I would like to do and ask someone to choose, I am more happy with them choosing a lower choice than if I had just come with my favorite choice and been said no to.
One problem with that is that you might have more than one option that depends on things out of your control, so you always need to have an option where nobody can say no and nothing else can go wrong.
