[quote=Anonymous]OP, are you (A) an early bird and (B) someone who was very isolated for the past 15 months? It seems as though you might really have missed your son and grandchildren, and you can't think of anything better than spending every moment together. But dealing with kids' needs and life generally has been exhausting for parents, and the kids have probably had to give up a lot of things they really liked in life. So when the parents agreed to go on vacation with your, they were sort of happy at the thought of getting to spend some time with you, but they were also looking forward to a lot more freedom than they got under lockdown. And now it turns out that they're expected to follow someone else's rules and schedule all day, every day, and they gave up annual leave to do so. No matter how glad they are to see you, they don't want to relive life during covid: different strictures, different location, still miserable. [/quote]
