[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you plan a low stakes long weekend with your parents? Rent a house near a beach or lake. With the understanding in your family that it'll be a slow, relaxed time with the grandparents. Books, board games, slow casual meals, kids swimming, etc.[/quote]
Yeah, I just am not interested in traveling anywhere with them. Like I said, they behaved terribly in ‘19, and I even gave them a second chance and it was worse. My husband especially works too hard to be tortured this way on his vacation days, and my kids don’t deserve it either. [/quote]

Well, then you'll have hurt feelings. The consolation trip is the way to go - preferably planned and announced before your "active" trip. If you don't want to do that, that's your right but the hurt feelings will be worse.

It's not just disappointment, btw, it's feeling like they'll never travel again at all / with you. People who are confronting (or in denial about) their health and mobility problems are understandably upset to hear that things they have enjoyed will never happen again.[/quote]
