[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you tell them " you cant afford it" do they offer to pay?
I pretty much agree with you if they dont. Altho I will say my Il's paid for us all to go to Disney a couple of years ago when DD was 3. There were 6 adults total and one 3yo. I was primary parent from 7 am until 10 -r 11 at night and it was exhausting. No help with DD from Il's or SIL/spouse. SIl went off and did her own thing some of the time, we had a crazy hectic schedule and because IL's paid for it all I couldnt say much. I wasnt even allowed to go to Universal and do Harry Potter because there wasnt time in the itinerary they had planned.[/quote]

OP here. Yeah that's how it would be on a trip to Disney with them. Except I'd be paying also (and paying more than I would if I planned it). It's exhausting keeping kids on their best behavior constantly and getting no help. Inlaws are older and need help too.

We've said we can't afford it, but I think they think we can afford it if we cut out our own vacations (I need vacations as stress relief though). They've never offered to pay and we normally even pay every restaurant bill also. [/quote]
