I can see how frustrated you are with this situation...and I don't blame you. You can't force her to come to anything. She's made her choice to stay home with the dog for whatever reason. You'll probably never know the reason. Just resign yourself to the fact that it won't happen. I would continue to ask her because you're doing the right thing by trying to include her. Try not to shut her out even though it must be frustrating. You might even be surprised..one day she might even take you up on your offer to do something..but until then keep asking and try to have patience. Sending you all my left over patience because I have so much of it!! LOL!
