[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a grandma of young children who live in another state.  I babysit sometimes while my son and his wife go out.  It's great for all of us.  I wrecked a car some years ago (fell asleep at the wheel on a long drive; thank God I did not kill anyone).  I TOTALLY understand why my son and his wife do not want me to drive their little ones anywhere.  I don't know if their feelings about this will ever change, but if not, it is completely my own fault.

There are lots of ways to have great times with the grandkids without having to drive somewhere.  Among other outdoor things, we take a lot of neighborhood walks, go to nearby parks and playgrounds, and play in the backyard in any kind of weather.  Inside, we have a huge variety of activities that we do together, including arts and crafts, music, cooking, junior carpenter type stuff, stories, on and on.  I am frankly just as glad not to have to deal with cars, car seats, and driving.

Your mother needs to accept her share of responsibility for your stance and deal with it.
