[quote=Anonymous]It’s not their limitations that are the issue, rather their attitude about their limitations. We’ve invited my mom to join us on several trips and we’ve all enjoyed ourselves even though she can’t do everything we want to do. But her attitude is “don’t change your plans to accommodate me.” “You guys want to take a strenuous hike? Cool, I’ll read at the cabin and look forward to seeing your pics when you get back.” Because she’s not a drama queen and is unselfish - our whole family wants to spend time with her and it doesn’t feel like a burden to plan a mix of activities that she can do with us. We took her to Acadia with us last year and we did a lot of hiking that she can’t do. But we also took scenic drives, visited a botanical garden, took a boat ride, went mini golfing, etc. [/quote]
