I told DH this is exactly why I asked for said info from Mum and if she can’t find herself to do such a simple request, why should I go out of my way? DH too?
So am I cruel?? 🤪 I hate that this always comes up every single visit, but more so now that I’m working.
No, you're not cruel. You gave her your parameters for her visit, she didn't comply, and as a consequence she's now got to deal.
She's imposing on you to figure it out and maybe it'll change her MO. (Maybe not and you'll just have an angry Mum at the end of the day, but that's really not your problem.)
IIRC, she has mobility challenges, but does she have a wheelchair? If not, she can definitely get an Uber (or have one gotten for her) from Newark Airport (assuming she's flying into EWR) - they all wait on the ramps and in the cell lot. (Seriously.)
If she does have a wheelchair, I know there are services in Essex County that would serve EWR, but I don't know how far in advance they'd need to be booked.
