I could see this, from a different perspective, although I don't know if this is how she means it. For myself, I've got two kids with special needs, one was a "runner", I've got multiple physical problems that mean I can't run. And there's only one of me. And my husband was in the navy, often deployed when they were young. I could barely go to the playground down the block by myself with both kids. I would have given my left arm and a lot of cash for anyone who would go with me and let me be at a 1:1 ratio with the kids. I would have paid any amount, and I couldn't find anyone willing. So this ask? I've been at a point i would pay and ask, if it was important to me. Maybe she wants this certain event at this park, maybe it fulfills some family bonding time dream she's had for years, maybe she just wants to do something normal for God's sake for once. Just saying. I can understand asking.
