[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents have a beach house that has been in our family for years.  Pre kids DH and I would spend one week there and the go elsewhere on our own vacation. I have two sisters.  One doesn't work and the other is a teacher so they typically spend about 6 to 8 weeks there so it has always felt like there wasn't a lot of room especially when my older sister started having kids.

Now that I have two kids and I want to spend some time there in the summer.  Last summer we made a schedule so each of the siblings would have one week there with just our parents.  DH and I have the most inflexible schedules so we really only have a set vacation.  A few days before we were set to go to the beach big sister who doesn't have kids announced she would overlap with us both weeks.

This summer I've learned my sister with three teenagers has decided to extend her six week stay so that they will be there for the whole time I'm there.  I'm happy to spend part of the vacay with her but two weeks with three teenagers and one bathroom seems tough. I'm also annoyed because she asked if we could postpone our trip until August since her kids have preseason.  Now they've decided to go to preseason late so the can squeeze in one more week of summer.

I know this is ultimately my parents' decision but we siblings made an agreement and they aren't sticking to it.  I'm thinking of just canceling the vacation, and doing our own thing in September (elsewhere) since our kids are still in preschool. DH worries it will cause family drama but[b] I feel like we only get so much time for our nuclear family we should do something with the four of us.[/b]

This. The beach house scenario sounds like a nightmare.
