I have a problem with my MOM. She has been divorced for many years and has always been included on my family vacations. We went to the world two years ago (myself,DH,DD,DDand my mom). It was a disaster she has arthritis and refuses to get a wheelchair or scooter she rather just lean on the stroller the kids are in. Well she walked so slow that the kids became frustrated and got out this lead to them becoming very tired and cranky. The would not ride in the stroller if Grammy was pushing. I do have to say the day she decided to stay back at the room we got so much more accomplished with no complaints from the kids. My Dh want to go back to the worl last year but did not want to take my MOM. I was not upset with him but in agreement. The problem came when I had to tell her we were going and ahe wasn't welcome. She took the news very well but the GUILT was terrible. We booked another trip this year to WDW without her and the guilt is here again. I don't know how to get around this feeling. By the way I have 2 sisters and only one other ever invites her anywhere. This only adds to the guilt. Any advise?
