[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the conversation with DH should be about managing her expectations. You can't control whether or not she moves to the area. Why don't you bring her up for a month or so to stay in one of those extended stay places? That way she can try it out and see how she likes it.[/quote] I proposed this and I think this is what we are going to suggest. She doesn't have many friends in Florida and just likes to spend time alone, so she claims that she will be fine not seeing us and just figuring things out on her own. And I do think you're right about managing her expectations, but my DH hates to ruffle feathers (generally, not just with his mom) and I don't think he will say to her "we will only see you once a week". I can say it, but that makes me the bad guy. [/quote]
