[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister has a house at the Jersey Shore and she is very generous with letting people stay there when she isn't there.  My husband and boys always go the weekend after school lets out and stay that following week - her kids are usually still in school for part of that week, so we have the house ourselves and then she comes with her family part way.  It's a lot of fun and we look forward to it.

I was speaking with her about it the other day and she suddenly "clicked" the dates and realized she also told 2 of my cousins, who combined have 9 kids (plus their respective spouses, cousins are siblings to each other) that the house was free that week.  Personally, I think it would be a ton of fun - a ton of CROWDED fun, but fun.  I was raised with a ton of extended family and things like this happened all the time...we just slept on the floors, made do, whatever.

My husband has a combined total of 5 first cousins on both sides.  He is unfamiliar with this kind of freewheeling lack of planning, and it's caused fights with us in the past.  He will most likely be annoyed that "our week" got impacted, but I think it could be fun.  I realize that it's more fun for me since they are my cousins and I know them well (he doesn't), and it will be inconvenient/loud/crowded.  How do I pitch it?  I want to make the best of it... if it really gets to be too much, [b]we can bail and go to his Dad's for half the week[/b].

Thoughts?  Would you be upset?  I am not mad at my sister, by the way... she should have written it down, but forgot, but free can't argue, you know??[/quote]

Plan on this. Go for half a week, then head off on your own.

And no, can't get mad over a free vacation house ever.
