[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you come across as a little bit obnoxious because you obviously feel superior to your sister due to your larger vacation budget. "I want what I want. I decided not to go crazy this time," etc. And I say this as a wealthy person.

Also, I think you're the kind of person who's going to be quietly seething if you don't get the choice MBR. And it sounds like your sister has already compromised by coming up to your budget. Why don't you suggest that you'll take the best master bedroom in exchange for paying 70% of the rental?

She gets to save a little money, you ensure your precious ocean view to which you know  you're entitled. [/quote]

OP here: Don't see how you read into my saying I wanted to stick to my (albeit 'generous') budget meant my budget was bigger than my sisters as I'd say if anything my sister/her DH are probably better off but neither of us are hurting. In reality she wanted to jump on one house that was nearly twice as much as I was willing to spend this year (you can have money and still try and not spend it needlessly.) My criteria of oceanfront was for easy beach access as I mentioned our group/my DD has [b]baby[/b] so we/I are less interested in bells and whistles that house that caught her eye had as we/I just want ease of heading back into house for naps, etc. So again PP your reading my oceanfront within my budget as 'entitlement' - it actually missed the mark as I was hoping my DD and her DH have an easy time bringing their 1yo out to the beach so they have fun along with the rest of us with out babies/young kids.

And as I outed myself as trying for Zen so as NOT to be that person hoping for a specific room you may have got me - but really - all I want is for some good pointers so that I don't have baseless assumptions of motives when I am sharing a week with my beloved sister - as well as my own much loved kids/SILs and DH - and grandbaby!!![/quote]
