[quote=Anonymous]Just tell your mom that your DD seems to be going through a homesick phase right now and doesn’t enjoy vacations or even sleepovers with friends.  Just breezily note that you’re sure she’ll work through it eventually but for now you’d prefer they not making DD feel self conscious when you tag along with her this summer for weekend visits until she gets her groove back.

Whether DD works it out on her own or not, you can respect everyone’s feelings by facilitating the visits and going along (even though you have to give up occasional weekends). It might also help you better understand what is making DD not want to go - does she seem bored now compared to other years? (That does change over time)  Does she miss home friends or activities? (FOMO?)  Do grandparents not seem to interact with her well at this age? (Some people just don’t “get” certain ages and that’s okay). WHo knows, DD might even change her mind after she “remembers” how fun it is and then you just carry on and follow her lead.[/quote]
