[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now you will have no guilt associated with not moving back home. Also you are choosing to stay in the house with them the whole vacation. Gather your children up and go do something fun every day you are there. Do something to salvage the trip.[/quote]

+1 on the first part -- think of the most important outcome of this trip as being free of the idea that you should ever move back home.  I'd say that's definitely worth quite a lot.

I'm also sorry the vacation is rough.  But remember that it's also just tough to vacation with kids.  Pretty much half the vacations we go on end up sucking at this age.  Beach with my kids last week turned out really great this year but I am the OP of this thread from vacation that had its definite low points:

I agree that spending some time without your parents - ie going out each day - would probably help you cool down.  It won't help you have a vacation, but it will keep you from seething as much.  And maybe you can work on that later. DH and I are talking about "staycations" where each take care of the kids while the other enjoys a full weekend day off. Maybe your spouse can do this for you upon return.
