[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, so what is the problem -- that you'll feel guilty for not doing this for your daughter? That your daughter will take it badly? I wouldn't worry about your daughter feeling upset or feeling guilty. Children need to learn to take "no" for an answer. If your daughter hasn't learned that yet, you've done her a disservice, as that will cause her problems in other adult relationships. It's okay to not want to do this for her this time. It doesn't mean you'll never travel to see her again. Just tell her, "Sorry sweetie, this trip is not going to happen. And repeat as often as necessary. I totally get your not wanting to travel. I'm the same age, and I'm also tired of traveling and just want to stay put for a while. [/quote] All of this. I'm only 32 and I still enjoy travels but I would never dream of acting like OP's daughter or some of the pps in this thread because my mom declined a trip.[/quote]
