[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom and step-dad have a summer cottage. It was my step-dad’s first, and he brought it into their marriage. The town it’s in has a community pool and other summer amenities. For years, DD9 has enjoyed going to spend weekends there swimming, among other things. My mom mentioned it to us recently, how she can’t wait to host DD once the pool opens and they head up there. My step-dad still works, so they only go up on certain weekends.

Last night, DD confirmed that she doesn’t want to go away anymore. She doesn’t mind spending weekends at her grandparents home here, but doesn’t want to go so far away (it’s only a little more than an hour, but to her I guess it’s far). She says nothing happened there, she just feels homesick. She doesn’t want to go.

My mom sees this place as a summer paradise, and it is nice to have the amenities, but I can see where DD is coming from. I used to get homesick too, and I can see the benefits not outweighing that. How do I best break it to my mom that we will be visiting for day trips only?[/quote]

Respect your daughter's feelings on this. Especially if they get plenty of time together at home.

What your mom loves doesn't mean everyone else has to love it.[/quote]
