[quote=Anonymous]We have. However, there's no way, no how I would spend my only week of vacation for the year with them. If I have plenty of wine, it goes ok....

The time I was pg was rather unbearable as they simply couldn't understand that I needed to eat more frequently than every 8 hours and they got really upset when H and I would say we wanted to eat dinner around 6. And it was mortally offensive when we said it was fine if they didn't want to eat with us, but we needed to go eat then. We were at a resort that time where there was nowhere for me to go to get dry goods to keep in our room or anything to snack on outside of the times that the resort restaurants were open for business.

I've found the more separate space you can get, the better. It always goes worse when we split a condo because it feels like there is no place to go to get away. Also, make sure you talk up front about eating out, groceries, cooking if you are renting a condo, etc. I was making some eggs one morning on one trip and my FIL came out from his room, said "that looks good" and just grabbed the plate of food I had made as I was dropping the eggs onto to it. I hadn't signed up to be the short order cook, then BIL came and did the same thing "Well, you made some for dad."

And if you are splitting space, talk about who is sleeping where. Last trip, ILS got there first, comandeered the master bedroom where we could have actually fit a pack-n-play, left the bedroom where the full sized bed touched 3 of four walls for me, H and our 2 year old and told us the 2 year old could just sleep in the living room that everyone had to walk through to get to the bedrooms or bathrooms. Which also opened right onto a lake.[/quote]
