[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is tough because if it's important to them, and they love it, and the cousins love it then I understand wanting to be part of it or at least support it. But I also hate camping and have reached an age that I just wouldn't. In my 20s and 30s I would have sucked it up because I love my inlaws. But I wouldn't do it now, at 45.[/quote]

For me, the older I get the more I suck it up. I find that I don’t want to say no to things that are important to my family. [/quote]

Same.

Somehow I've married twice to men very close to their very big, very active families. My first marriage, I went to everything all the time and was miserable after several years of it. We never went on our own trips; it was all extended family, all the time and we lived near them so it was nonstop.

This time around, I compromise and go on half the vacations w/my husband's family. Our kid loves them and husband does as well. I go enough to not be offensive, but not so often that I want to rip my hair out. They're nice people, but I value and crave more quiet and downtime vs their nonstop action.[/quote]
