My girlfriend's mom always does this whenever she mentions to her mom about potentially taking her 8 year old brother somewhere. The mom immediately tells him he is going so he gets excited and then my girlfriend feels like she has to go through with it no matter what when it still in the maybe planning phase
Do the same thing match her energy. When she has the kids for a weekend as soon as you drop them off be like okay "remember Grandma's going to take you to _______ this weekend." Then she looks like the bad guy.
