[quote=Anonymous]No I don't think you're being unreasonable. Whether or not you could have handled it more deftly I don't know, but you're a grown up. You get to decide where you're going, how long you're staying, etc... Build an imaginary shield for the predictable reaction from your mother and just be consistent. "Mom, I'm really sorry but I'll be covering a lot of ground in a short period of time and want to make sure I get a chance to see as many people as possible. I will let them know that you would enjoy seeing them and perhaps you could all invite them here next time I'm visiting so I can help you host." (Or soemthing like that which deflects some anger, offers other possibilities, can be supportive of her, but also maintains your ability to travel as you wish.)[/quote]
