[quote=Anonymous]OP, I know you've been direct with the "no" but I'd go farther and explain what you said to us: ** that it will not be fun for you--and what would be MORE fun would be lunch with her (or insert an alternative here) **and that you understand that you may look frumpy but you are ok with this; it's temporary **but you don't want an audience when you DO go clothes shopping, **and SAY you are worried that she will get her feelings hurt, because it was something you two did to bond in the past, but please know that it's not intended to be a slight. **and THANK HER for her desire to be of help. (and OP, you must substitute in another activity in this conversation, or she'll never stop) The other thing you can do is the above, but also say, "Mom, I'll go with you in 6 months. Put May 24 on your calendar; and I don't want to talk about it until after then!"[/quote]
