[quote=Anonymous]Maybe she actually has anxiety like most PPs are assuming, or maybe she just doesn’t like traveling without her husband. I know quite a few people of that generation who just don’t travel separately - not because of anxiety or anything else outside of their control - just because they don’t go anywhere without their spouse. They don’t have that kind of independence. Regardless of the reasons, PPs are right that you can’t force her to change. But I would not take on the guilt. Whenever she makes comments about missing her grandkids, just keep repeating that she is welcome any time. It’s only going to get worse as your kids get older and their activities increase and they want to spend more of their free time with their friends.[/quote]
