[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are taking a big family trip soon where we will stay in a house with lots of family. Whenever we are together my MIL wants to tag along for EVERYTHING. She's very sweet and I understand she's desperate to spend time with us (not just my DH / her only child, she definitely thinks of me as her daughter as well) but whenever we're all together it doesn't occur to her at all that DH and I might like/need some time just the two of us. DH travels mon - fri so when we are together on vacation we really need some "couple" time regardless of who else we're traveling with. We don't get all that much time together to start with. How can we politely NOT invite her to join us on some outings or day trips. I've tried saying "DH and I are going for a bikeride" but she plows right through it by (very sweetly) saying "that sounds lovely, if you don't mind I'd love to tag along with you it's so beautiful out!!" Should I just suck it up?[/quote]
