[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, OP. That's tough that she didn't provide at least some notice.

[b]That said, it's not reasonable to issue a summons for another adult's time. An invitation is great, yes. An idea for everyone to be together, yes. But at the end of the day, there is nothing wrong with another adult making a decision with his or her time and how they want to spend the little vacation they have. [/b]

For all you know, the marriage is under strain, and the choice was made to regroup the marriage with a nice vacation rather than the stress of family at the holidays.[/quote]

This. So this. Better to just appreciate what she can do and let go out the rest. You don't know what is going on in her life.Maybe she has a diagnosis she hasn't told you about., Maybe her marriage is unstable and they are trying to focus on nuclear family. Maybe she is burned out and thinks she will lose it having an extended family holiday. Don't automatically assume someone is selfish. Assume you don't know the whole story and don't try to control her.[/quote]
