[quote=Anonymous]My ILs are planning a group vacation (DH's siblings and their kids), for which ILs are paying.  DH and I are not really interested in a long drive with our two-year-old to a un-babyproofed vacation rental, but we're trying to balance the time we spend with his family and mine so we'd just said we'd discuss it.  The next day MIL forwarded the lovely and rather expensive vacation home she'd just booked.  DH replied very rudely, to the effect of "sorry you're paying for our empty room."  MIL has not replied and I'm certain her feelings are hurt.

I had previously opposed our going -- DH had been more in favor -- but his rudeness makes me feel like we should go on the vacation in order to keep the peace.  We also owe her BIG TIME for all the wonderful things she does for our family, including child care, so I'm embarrassed by his tone.

On the other hand, I genuinely would not have gone before this interaction.  We can make it work, but it will create added stress at home and at the office.

Advice?  [/quote]
