[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You just dodge and weave here — you don’t make some long term announcement and you don’t tell her that she won’t like the trip or be able to do it. She will just argue with you about that.

You can either not mention the trip or just say that this trip is just for your nuclear family. And then just ignore her complaints and comments.

And is there truly not anywhere within a two hour drive that she would like? Would she like to stay in a fancy hotel and get a pedicure? Would she like a small, cute town with some good shopping? Would she like the greenbrier? Or Williamsburg? It sounds like you could throw in a trip for her and you and maybe the kids that is 1 or 2 nights. [/quote]
I think this is a good idea. Find somewhere "close" that avoids flying and a long drive. Find a 4 day weekend and see if 1 or both kids will join you. Hopefully that will give her a few meals with all of you, she can stay behind at the hotel if your kids want to do something active and it gives her a short break from grandpa.

Although Williamsburg was a lot more walking than I expected and very hot when we went, so maybe not good for someone with mobility issues.[/quote]
