[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rent a house for the week and have your DH let your MIL know. Just say it's not a problem if the nephew needs the home for that week, or alternatively we are happy to cancel the rental if the week doesn't work out, but we needed to make a back up plan. Get cancel for any reason insurance. If MIL would indeed be "mortified", you will hear from her and can cancel the rental.[/quote] This is the best path, IMO. If OP and her DH and kids have used the house for this DD's birthday week every year, as OP says, I find it odd that this year nephew and MIL are acting cagey. If nephew isn't in some terrible crunch time at work, there is certainly more to this. Maybe they don't want a party with multiple teens, maybe nephew is getting more controlling and MIL would rather not fight it, or maybe MIL is just in a mood. I would make an alternate plan and let it go. [/quote]
