[quote=Anonymous]Religion is a very deep thing for many people. You are wrong to be angry at her for not wanting to go to your church. You have no idea what she went through growing up with religion. Respect her feelings.

If you don't want to go visit her mother then tell her to find a friend or boyfriend or whatever to go with her, or to put on her big girl panties and go alone, but you won't be able to go with her.

It sounds like she is a boundary-pusher. You can't change other people, you can only change how you react to them. So accept she is this way, and simply have firm boundaries with her. If she'd pulled that dog shit with me, I would have said that since I signed the rental forms I wouldn't be able to let her dog in without written documentation from the rental owner/landlord saying bringing her dog was okay. Firm. Boundaries.

"I'm sorry, but we won't be able to drive you there. But if you want to borrow our computer to look up phone numbers for cab companies it's in the kitchen."

"I'm sorry, but we won't be able to accompany you to your mother's house. Please send her our best, and good luck." [/quote]
