[quote=Anonymous]Inlaws are building a vacation home 8 hours away from DC. They have the plans all drawn up and are so excited to break ground. They're convinced we're coming monthly and will have all holidays there. I was looking at the plans and it involves a bunk room that sleeps 10 on the 2nd story with a communal bathroom with stalls (nice ones, but still). The bedroom on the ground floor is their bedroom.

Sigh. I know they're excited about the vacation home, but we are stretched as it is on annual leave and we wouldn't be able to go more than once a year. I am not spending holidays there at all. Communal bunking is just awful. Anyway to talk them down from this plan? I think their excitement has made them crazy. I also absolutely hate going to the same place more than once, but I know they enjoy the same spot every time and they hate going new places. They have visions of being surrounded by grandchildren on every holiday at their vacation home, but it's not going to happen like they're envisioning. [/quote]
