[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’ll give you a view from the other side.  We’re going on an all-inclusive vacation with elderly relatives this summer and we’re paying.  We have a range of ages going on the trip and a lot of activities planned.  The way I’m approaching this is to be flexible and non-judgmental.  The fact that we’re paying is [b]mute[/b].  I just want everyone to come away feeling like they had a great time.  If the elderly relatives are overwhelmed by all of the activity and want more downtime, I understand.  I don’t know all of their needs and don’t require them to keep up with my kids.  I also don’t think that the fact that I’m paying means that I should dictate how they spend their time on the trip.

It sounds like the group vacation thing isn’t a good idea for your family right now.  Maybe it will be once the kids have grown.  And going forward, plan things with your son and leave your DIL out of it.  She will be grateful.  [/quote]

Im assuming this is a typo or an autocorrect and that you know the word you want here is moot, not mute.
