What were your family responses to your use of a walker?

My mom just told me she doesn't want me to use a walker too soon.

She wanted to know how I was going to push a shopping cart if I was pushing a walker.

I know she is overwhelmed by all of this. If I am pushing a cart I don't need the walker to hang onto.

I do need a place to sit and rest at times so the walker with the seat will be nice.

I am not sure my mom realizes that just because you need a walker at one time does not mean you'll always need it.

But then again no one knows for sure. My mom means well. She is worried and does not know how to handle this.
