Is the problem that you and the kids don't socialize enough (enough in her opinion) with her as a family or that you don't agree to go with her to meet other people? Or both? Mostly the latter.

To have just myself to care for and just enough posessions to do it. I know it won't happen any soon. Maybe when I'm old. I don't want to end up in a large ...
