[quote=Anonymous]My brother and I are very close.  He lives in upstate NY.  It is important to us for our children to spend time together.  We agreed that we would all do something as a group this summer.  We ended up renting a beach house.  He and his family will fly to DC and then we will all drive to the beach.

We intentionally did not mention this to our father and step mother.  While we love them, we really wanted a kids only vacation.  But my nephew spilled the beans when he was talking to grandma and grandpa.  Now our parents want to come.  There is enough room for them in the house; we just don't want them to come.  But they are making it hard on my brother.  He only gets 2 weeks of vacation a year.  He is spending 1 week at the beach with us.  Our parents want him to extend his vacation and fly into DC so that they can spend time with their grandchildren.  He doesn't have the vacation time.

If we invite our parents, they will want to come for the whole week.  They will not make the drive for just a few days.  So now what....and I know that I'm already screwed because they already know that they were not invited originally.

One option would be for my brother's family to drive back from the beach after 3 or 4 days and spend time with our parents, but that doesn't really seem fair to the kids.  And the point of the trip was for the cousins to spend time together.[/quote]
