I can't imagine vacationing with parents once you leave home. If there were some sort of once-off like a Grand Trip to Asia or a 50th Anniversary or a destination wedding, that's one thing. But routinely paying for your adult working children to vacation with you? That's insane and your kids are taking advantage of you, and you shouldn't offer.

Just want to offer a different perspective:  My in-laws had a nice vacation home and the three adult kids with spouse and grandkids would pick a week or so to visit them.  They didn't charge us rent so technically they paid for our vacation.  My FIL has since died and MIL sold the place but, the memories we have ( not all great but still nobody's perfect ) have continued long after.  So, while it might not be your cup of tea I don't think it is as insane as you put it.

Now, if the Op and her husband couldn't afford  it than she is free to let them know.  Maybe they could do a shorter and cheaper vacation if they wanted to treat.[/quote]
