Would you want your in laws to join your family vacation?

I'm torn. Would love to hear perspectives I'm maybe not considering.

I don't know. Maybe if they had or rented a really nice beach house. I definitely am not into sleeping on the couch/floor and sharing a bathroom with anyone besides my spouse.

SIL and BIL? Yes, they are nice. FIL and MIL? No. They are nice, too, but do not treat us as peers. FIL would spend the whole vacation telling everybody what to do and where to go every second of every day.

Yes. We travel with my own parents and aunts often. It would be lovely to go with inlaws. They only like to camp though. We're more into historic houses and educational trips.

[Anonymous]

Absolutely not. We do get a big beach house with my family, though. My family is fun.

[Anonymous]

Nope. Never. Luckily there is no way we would ever want to go to the same destination.

We actually did. My MIL and FIL would often join us for part of our family vacation at the beach. And, we would sometimes join them.
But, I actually loved my MIL and FIL. They were great people to be around. They both passed years ago and I miss them quite a bit.

We take three a year. So to join once a year would be okay with me. They're good people.

No.

We travel very differently and my husband starts to fight with his mom after two to three days.

[Anonymous]

Yes, so they watch the kids and we have fun !

I'd go anywhere with my SIL & her family. We've did NYC and a beach week with them and it went well. MIL has no interest in joining our family trips.

This is so dependent on individual personalities. My MIL is a nutjob. No f'ing way. My BIL/SIL and kid are lovely people - a family trip with them would be fun.

My inlaws came to disney with us. It was our first trip there, sorta wanted it to be just us. They annoyed the hec out of me, but the silver lining is they watched our then 1.5 yr old while dh and I took the other kids on the rides.

[Anonymous]

Yes, but they never want to come

Actually what I DO mind are large groups.
It's much harder to coordinate activities and get a move on with a larger group, plus I'm an introvert.

No. MIL and SIL are princesses who are high maintenance and never STFU.
