[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are the facts:
FIL is generous, his wife (evil step MIL) is evil.
ESMIL gives tons of free stuff and money to her two sons; neither work.
FIL wants to even out contributions between the two families.
We can afford our own trips to Disney and yet really would choose other places over Disney until that one magical year.  (My son says when his baby sister is 2, we will go; i say when she is 4 and he's 7).

Anyway,should we:
go, enjoy and let the FIL and ESMIL feel all generous and equivalent?
[b][i]Just pass with some excuse like baby too small, work too busy, ect?[/i][/b]
tell the truth which is we hate ESMIL and don't really want her around our children? (never did like ESMIL but now that older child is forming permanent memories, I kind of want to protect him from her evilness).

This is related to our vacation schedule in general. We spend a lot of vaca with them. While I dearly love my FIL and love spending time with him, I'm over ESMIL and want to avoid her for the rest of my life. We have already committed to a family vaca near them over summer and I"m regretting it.  Can't get out of that one.

thoughts?
