[quote=Anonymous]Eek this is soo tough op. My family has a similar situation with extended family on my parents side that keeps getting together after I’ve had kids and it sound selfish but I’d really rather do things with just our immediate family like you. But alas similar my parents love their siblings and still want to do these big gatherings. We’ve had to find a balance. For example - what if you shared how things have even shifting for you and this need for some immediate family time and explored going every other year?? That is what we’ve done with one similar get together. And even though it is far we don’t go the whole week. And it really is almost as far so I know it sounds crazy but I’m telling you it is for the best for us - we go for 4-5 days every other year and it’s perfect. We see everyone, we’re happy to see them because it hasn’t been too much and we don’t stay too long so we don’t get frustrated. We bang it out with a crazy car ride and just count that as a thing w ended to do for family (ours is about 9 hrs).

Also I would trulllly try to see if there is ANY way to find another rental option for your family. Tell your parents now that you have kids that piece just absolutely is going to have to be adjusted. And see if your immediate family with your parents can stay in another spot on the years you come.
