Dear Amy: I became a grandmother this year. I am a boomer widow and I live alone on a limited income. My son, daughter-in-law and grandson moved to another state, about an eight-hour drive from where I live. I do not feel comfortable making the drive by myself, but I can fly. Even though he lives in a three-bedroom home, my son wants me to stay in an Airbnb when I visit. So in order to visit them, according to his demands, I need to pay for the long-distance parking at the airport, the airfare, the Airbnb, and rent a car to get back and forth from the Airbnb to their house. This is about $1,000 to visit for a couple of days. I have done this twice. He tells me, “Don’t give us gifts, save up for the trip.” But it’s not just the cost; I don’t like staying by myself at an Airbnb. I told him that if he wants me to visit them (the baby is adorable and will be a year old soon) he should, please, pick me up from the airport and let me have a spot on their floor.
