Most of my wife's family lives in Indianapolis, which looks to be right in the middle of this week's Winter Storm. Since we are moving, our daughter asked to be able to wake up Christmas morning in her childhood home and we said Absolutely. Now this didn't go over well with the MIL, but little ever does. The current plan is to go over Thursday and home Saturday.
But with this storm coming Thursday night into Friday, we may be stuck there. Several of the models are calling for 7-10" along our route, and all are calling for 40 mph winds and flash freezing with temps around zero. So getting back home Saturday could be a challenge at best, a tragedy at worst. Neither my wife or I think we should go, but as sure as I sit here typing this, when she calls her mom this evening to broach the subject, her mom will try to guilt her into coming. It is always all about what she wants no matter what that causes for other people. She is the most immature 87 year old you will ever meet.
So do I just be the bad guy and simply say No, we will be over on Monday, but will be leaving Tuesday because our daughter has a friend flying in to see her. Or let us be bullied into coming and potentially ending up stuck along the way. Or worse.
