[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the answer to this is just to continue not to participate but I thought I’d ask.

My parents in-law and sister in law select a beach house every year and ask us to join them. We are never consulted about the house, sometimes consulted about the dates. We typically go for a day, maybe stay overnight in a nearby hotel. Every year they say “why don’t you stay with us!?” and do some level of drama about how they “got a house with rooms for us.” Every year I say I like to choose my own accommodations.

If they really wanted us to stay with them, they’d start asking our input into the house right? I think this is just their “polite” protestation but they don’t actually want to select a house with our preferences in mind?[/quote]

Okay, it’s weird that you go but stay in a hotel. What “preferences” need accommodation?   [/quote]

We need a room with enough space for four, and a separate bathroom that can be locked. So basically a regular sized hotel room. What we tend to be offered is for my husband and I to sleep in a very small bedroom and our children to share rooms with their cousins, which is a non-starter.  I also can’t have a situation where my youngest has to wander around at night to go to the bathroom because she’s still in the “gets lost in a new place” stage.[/quote]

Has your spouse said: “we need 2 bedrooms near to each other if you want us to stay in the house”.

I’m sure there would be a bathroom nearby if you take up 2 rooms. [/quote]

We don’t need two rooms. I’m perfectly happy to share with my kids. We need a room big enough for that, with a bathroom which my kids are not sharing with their cousins.

My oldest nephew has sent two of his siblings to the ER with some of his outbursts, we are very cautious about him not being unsupervised with our children.[/quote]
