[quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for all these responses. They really are helpful and give me various perspectives on this.

I’ve been applying some of this advice in real time as I’ve been reading them… my DH called up his mom and she will be taking the train separately. We may drive her home but will see. I would rather not but not sure if I have it in me to say no to her twice on this. And this seems like a reasonable compromise and at least I will not arrive to the hotel already exhausted by MIL time. Fwiw we have a small suv and technically there is a seat for her but usually need it for luggage. He also communicated that we do have other plans for the weekend and cannot necessarily spend all of the daytime hrs with her. I am pretty satisfied with this for now. It is possible it will go awry but trying to focus on what I can control and remain compassionate without betraying my own limitations. This in law boundary stuff is not easy for a former people pleaser like me!
