[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I wouldn't travel to India for anybody! LOL But seriously, flying out so far for a week will be torturous. If you end up going, you and DD should commit to a couple of weeks at least. Maybe stress to DD that you don't want to live the teens by themselves. It's a better reason than "I won't leave my comfort zone."[/quote]

I'm flummoxed by this thread because no one seems to be recognizing that traveling to India is a much, much bigger ask than traveling to the US, Europe or even Japan or Australia.  It's difficult and stressful.

The OP has a full, stressful life and lots of responsibilities.  She can still take lots of trips to other places and if she was on here saying she also didn't want to visit her daughter when she is living in Ohio or even London, I could see the response.

OP, you should tell your daughter that you love her, but given your responsibilities right now, you are not able to make it to India right now.  Tell her that you look forward to a trip together in the future, even and think about that.  But I think it's not fair of your children to demand these things.  I agree with others that perhaps your DH or even a sibling (if she has an older sibling) could go.  [/quote]
