[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does she not have time to find another sitter? Or did she have a potentially free sitter (family member?) that now can’t do it? I feel like she should be trying to find another option, but I also understand it’s hard to leave your kids for 4 days unless it’s someone you really know and trust. If you are dead set against doing this trip with her and her kids + dog than just call her and say you were looking forward to the R&R with just her and will just cede the rental to them for the weekend (and obviously she covers the full cost). If you are willing to do the trip- you should still get one bedroom and she and her kids get one even if that means kids on air mattresses in the room. How old are the kids? Their ability to totally disrupt the trip I guess varies by age. [/quote]

Same poster- saw the reply about her sis being the free sitter. If she’s struggling financially and you’re not, I would just “let her off the hook” and say you’ll try to do a girls trip another time and Venmo back her 1/2. If the full cost is out of reach for you also (as I imagine it is for her), then maybe you see if there’s a way to cancel and just lose a deposit rather than the full cost since they have plenty of time to rebook before Mem day. FWIW I like hotels for trips with uncertainty or moving parts like child care bc you can be so flexible with cancellation. [/quote]
