We hope to snowbird next winter and spend a few weeks back home over Christmas. Every time it comes up, though, Mom makes negative comments. Her favorite remark is about us abandoning our kids (who are adults). She also talks about how we won't last long in an Rv, missing a real bed, and on and on. She just doesn't get it, and deep down doesn't want us to go.
We are so tired of cold and ice, and are really looking forward to enjoying the outdoors in a nicer climate, seeing new things, and meeting people along the way. It's going to be a problem, I think. We can't see sitting here in five months of below freezing weather just in case she needs us. She has a busy social life with good friends. None of us are getting any younger, and we'd like to enjoy our good health and not be stuck in the house all winter.
