[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure whether your most concerned with the bad influence issue or the daughter not wanting to do it issue. Then we have to factor in not creating antipathy with Sister, and Grandma’s feelings. I think to avoid antipathy you don’t express anything about the bad influence. You just talk about her sport/extracurricular commitments, maybe relate it to college prep. Acknowledge your mom’s desire for more extended family closeness. It’s really common as parents age. Just listen and validate her emotions while also letting her know that DD has commitments that preclude some of what your mom wants. If DD knows you have her back on the unsupervised/supervised by grandma stuff, she might be more willing to up the group activities a little.[/quote]
